Spelling error in boxes - 'paragraph' spelt as 'pargraph'.

shaded boxes

The second shaded box says " .. with a class of 'one'"

It would be clearer if the CSS code above was changed from

p {background-color: silver; margin: 10px;}

to

p#one {background-color: silver; margin: 10px;}

Confirmed. However, the real problem is in the figure, which doesn't
show enough separation between the first paragraph and the dotted
line. Alternatively, the figure could be cropped so only the
dotted-line-surrounded paragraph is shown.

box describing min-width et.al.

In the box on page 308 about "min-width, min-height" it's stated that the percentage refer to the width of the containing block. In the box on page 309 about "mx-width, max-height" it's stated that the percentage refer to the height of the containing block.

This is rather odd and inconsistent with the description on page 468 and469.

336, Note in mid of page
The document is now at the URL with the correct spelling
("...Positioning")

345, mid of page, last line for visibility property
"other than hidden" -> "other than collapse"

4th paragraph (1st paragraph after the header "Anonymous Table Objects")

Says: "For example, consider this XHTML", but the example provided is HTML.

Proposed solutions:
* change the introductory text to "consider this HTML", or
* update the example syntax to XHTML -- <input type="text" />

352, border-collapse
353, border-spacing
"table-inline" -> "inline-table"

405, line 4 below figure 13-11
"to draw borders" -> "to draw outlines" (?)

455, border-style
The sentence at the end of the paragraph is repeated
in the "Note"; and the Note should include that it
only applies to CSS1

477, visibility
The initial value is "visible" and "Inherited" is "Yes".
(Compare with box on page 316.)
