1st paragraph, 3rd line

"coated adhesives" is probably erroneous. The author almost certainly meant 'coated abrasives'. That would make sense in the context, being concomitant with 'grain size' which occurs in the preceding text.

'Coated abrasives' is a generic term for a range of products which include 'sandpaper'. The abrasive 'grains' are held in place by a 'coat' of 'adhesive'.

1st paragraph, 3rd line

Sorry, I made a mistake yesterday. The term 'coated' here refers to the fact that the backing material (paper, in the case of sandpaper) is 'coated' in abrasive grains using adhesive, not that the backing is coated with adhesives, so my entry should read as follows.

"coated adhesives" is probably erroneous. The author almost certainly meant 'coated abrasives'. That would make sense in the context, being concomitant with 'grain size' which occurs in the preceding text.

'Coated abrasives' is a generic term for a range of products which include 'sandpaper'. A coat of abrasive grains is fixed to the backing material by a layer of adhesive.

Last section of code

element.onlick = function() (
change();
}

"onlick" has already been corrected to "onclick" in the errata.

The trailing left parens should be a left brace.
element.onclick = function() {
change();
}

first code section

"onlick" should be "onclick" and the trailing left parens should be a left brace.

element.onlick = function()(
change(this);
}
-->
element.onclick = function(){
change(this);
}

3rd line of code from the top

3rd line of code:

var div = document.getElementByID('content').innerHTML;
div.innerHTML += '<p>This is a paragraph added using innerHTML.</p>';

The var div should not have the innerHTML at the end of it.
Otherwise, the line after it would not work.
