UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 


{151}  "Note:" box;
The statement "you can no longer use it to apply styles" is incorrect and should be
deleted.  The following procedure should be detailed on page 156:  First, select some
text on the page.  Then by right-clicking a style in the CSS Styles panel (Control-
click on the Mac?), you can then pick "Apply" from the context menu.  Alternatively,
you can also click the panel menu button and select "Apply".


{151}  The "Note";
It says in the note that "you can no longer use it to apply styles" referring to the
CSS Styles Panel.  This is not true.  You can right-click a style (in Windows only,
probably) to get a context menu containing an "Apply" option.  Or you can click the
panel's context menu button (Mac and Windows) to get the "Apply" option.

Also, further down creating a new style is discussed, but no mention is made of the
Panel context menu where you will also find the "New..." option.


{155}  Last paragraph of the page;
On the first line of the paragraph, the book refers to a class style called .content,
but elsewhere in the paragraph, when it explains that Dreamweaver will add a special
property to the page's code, it uses a class name called .company.  The first
sentence of the paragraph is one place where this error occurs:  When you apply a
class style (.content, for example) to a tag, Dreamweaver adds a special class
property to the page's code, like this:<p class=company>.  That part that says <p
class =company> should read
<p class = content>, shouldn't it?


{156}  Fourth paragraph;
Omission.  In the discussion of the various ways to apply a style, using the Styles
Panel context menu and selecting "Apply" is omitted.  Note that page 151 also states
"you can no longer use it to apply styles" referring to the CSS Styles Panel.  This
is not true.


(604)  Figure 18-20;
The Type field should show the value URL rather than Text, since the figure should
illustrate the values entered in step 19 of the tutorial (p. 603).


(607)  Step 14 (2nd paragraph);
The red "Sign of the Month" button appears
should read:
The "Sign of the Month" image appears
