last paragraph of Checkbox section: it is stated that several |
checkboxes with the same name attribute yield a comma-separated
string. I tried this with Navigator 3.04 and I get an &-separated
string. Perhaps different browers use different separators.

Unconfirmed errors (mostly suggested by readers):
?general? I have one big suggestion on your otherwise excellent book.
You need to provide a page or two on image mapping in HTML. It is a
very powerful and increasingly popular feature to add <MAP
name=localdef> with a set of <AREA> tags within the HTML code. Then
the image being displayed is locally linked with <IMG SRC=... ISMAP
USEMAP="#localdef">. It beats having separate .MAP files and is
easier to create and debug.
?chapter 4? The chapter on frames should mention Netscape's inability
to properly deal with the <noframes> tag. The problem is that the
<noframes> tag should work within any page, not just in <frameset>
pages. MSIE 3 supports this, but not Netscape 3. See
http://www.newbie.net/frames/2ed/5.htm#broken_noframes for details.
