doNewWindow() function example |
On line 5 of the doNewFunction() example in the Javascript section on page 17, the function `links[i].className.match("new_window")` is called. However, in the HTML part of the example above this function, the <a> element has an id of "new_window", not a class of "new_window". The HTML example should remove the `id="new_window"` attribute and add the `class="new_window"` attribute instead.

Second paragraph |
First sentence of second paragraph reads:
"If your site chooses to use CAPTCHA that has an audio fallback, make sure to text the fallback rigorously."
That sentence should end like this, I think:
"...make sure to test the fallback rigorously."
In other words, "text" is printed instead of "test".

On page 3 the float left and float right styles are opposite of what they should be. The "float: left" should be "float: right" and vica versa.

Figure 2.2 and 2.3 are evidently transposed |
Accessibility handbook, the section on low vision
it says Figure 2-2. An example of good contrast
that figure however shows blue text on blue background, which is bad contrast.
Can be checked with the following: http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/
I have not checked figure 2-3 which it says is bad contrast, although it certainly looks to me to high contrast and matches the description of most readable as off-black and off-white given prior to the images in question.

Picture, first blue box. |
In the first blue box the code fragment:
<div style="float:left">This is a site about who I am</div>
<div style="float:right">Welcome to the site</div>
Should be:
<div style="float:right">This is a site about who I am</div>
<div style="float:left">Welcome to the site</div>

Table 7-1. 508 Resources, line 5 |
In "Accessibility Handbook", Chapter 7, section "General Accessibility Resources", Table 7-1 . 508 Resources, the link
http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/accessibility/
goes to a 404 Not Found page, but if the trailing "/" is removed
http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/accessibility
then the link works.
I emailed Safari Books Online, they said:

I have filed a case with our Content Team to talk to the publisher about getting that fixed. This might be a case where you will need to file an errata with the publisher -- since it is a problem with the book and not a problem with our service -- so, just in case, please file an errata for that problem at http://oreilly.com/catalog/errata.csp?isbn=0636920024514
