Version	Location	Description	Submitted by	Date submitted
PDF	Page all all	This author has ignored significant syntax rules for HTML throughout the book (at least he is consistent). This could cause serious issues for new coders working with browsers strictly enforcing syntax rule. Since this is a (relatively) new publication, use of HTML5 guidelines would also have been nice to see. The editor is partly at fault for not having proper technical editors review the content for consistency with the rest of the O'Reilly product line.	Chris Riney	Oct 03, 2012
PDF	Page 1 Most of the page	The description on this page of installing jquery-ui seems to be out of date. It doesn't match either the current (1.10) or previous (1.9) version of the package. A bit frustrating because it means the beginner is completely at sea before he's even got started. The crucial files which the section refers to simply aren't there, or at least aren't where the book says they are.	John Winters	May 21, 2013
PDF	Page 1 Second paragraph, second sentence	Further to my earlier erratum about the description on the page not matching the actual download file contents - not even slightly. The problem is in the download instructions. Do not do as the book says and click on the "Stable" link. This gets you quite a different download. Instead click on the "Custom Download" link, and then at the bottom of the page click on the Download button. You don't need to change any of the options in the page, but the download you then get does match the book's description.	John Winters	May 29, 2013
PDF	Page 6 mid page - code snippit	lack of quoting for the hfref components, and lack of inclusion of type of script being included. It looks like the author is using improper HTML syntax through out chapter 1 (and the rest of the book). I also had issues following how the author came up with the line <script src = "jquery.js"></script> which should be something like <script type="text/javascript" src = "jqueryui/js/jquery-{version}.min.js"></script> Since jQueryUI (1.8.24) includes the base jQuery module as 'jqueryui/js/jquery-{version}.min.js'. Did I need to copy 'jqueryui/js/jquery-{version}.min.js' to 'jsquery.js', or download the latest 'jsquery.min.js' from the distribution site? The jQuery Mobile books are more clear on what to do at this stage. In reading just chapter one, my trust in this author has been greatly undermined.	Chris Riney	Oct 03, 2012
PDF	Page 155 2nd paragraph	While it may be true for any other operating system that you may select multiple items by pressing the ctrl key, it isn't correct for Mac OS. Here you have to press the cmd key.	Christian Hettlage	Nov 29, 2012
