First paragraph |
The paragraph states that file should be saved, but doesn't indicate that the reader needs to also create a folder called "scripts" within ch01 folder and save the thumbnails.js file there. (reference back to p.14 where the script code indicates the file source as:
<script src="scripts/thumbnails.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Note from the Author or Editor:
Add annotation that says "Save thumbnails.js in a new folder called “scripts" within the chapter01 folder." |

You have:
if (currentImage.className = "tab") {
When you, obviously, meant to have:
if (currentImage.className == "tab") {

The top left button image shows advanced, when it should be beginner. The text is describing how when you mouse over an image it should change to a different image, and goes through beginner, intermediate, and advanced showing this transition on the printed page but that first image is incorrect. The text below it is correct though.

3rd bullet point down |
The 3rd bullet point says "Use getObject() instead of this" but it should say "Use getActivatedObject() instead of this". Regards, Rob

half way down in note on right |
In the note to the right of the showTab function, it says "It's common to call the object returned from getObject() "me"" but it should say "getActivatedObject()" instead of "getObject()". Regards, Rob.
ps. This is probably the 6th errata submission I have made, if I am wasting my time please do let me know - I will not take offense.

2nd comment on the right |
On page 221, 2nd comment on the right, it states: "We've chosen 40 milliseconds", but the code shows 50.
On page 222, about multithreading, it states that: "Some programming languages, like C# and Javascript..". This should probably be Java instead of javascript.

Is the diagram on page 262 correct?
It shows the td's as the first children of the table, and the tr's as the first children of the td's.
Isn't that backwards?
Note from the Author or Editor:
Switch td's and tr's |
