The following example file:

HF_HTML_CSS_Code-winHF_HTML_CSS_Code-winchapter6loungelounge.html

Contains the following HTML code:

<p>
<DEFANGED_IMG src="images/drinks.gif">
</p>

which should be simply (without the <p> elements):

<DEFANGED_IMG src="images/drinks.gif">

so it's concordant with the validation process described in the chapter 6.

The bullet item mentions using the 'start attribute' to 'specify your own ordering in an ordered
list', as well as the 'value attribute' to 'change the values of the individual items'.

However, it appears this was not covered in the chapter (I've searched a couple times, can't
find it).

Admittedly, I'm using the 2005 first edition, but I haven't been able to find a correction
reference in the forums, or errata.

Is this corrected in the 07 edition? Can you tell me where I can learn about the Start and Value
attributes?

Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML (2006)
Page 182. 2nd column. Under the first "A:" section.
72 pixels x 3 inches = 216
The book says 72 and thinks 82, ending up with 246.

it's not the web server that retrieves the images;
10 across should read: "most web BROWSERS retrieve images this way"

The text at the top of the page says, "We're going to use option (3)..." and goes on
to explain how that will be done, inviting us to "keep following along."

However, the screen image and the text at the bottom of the page are all about using
option (or as it's now called, "method") (2) for validating the HTML.

- It's got an extra box -- remove "Activity E". There should be one
arrow going from the "Activity D" box to the "Finish" box.
- The upper right annotation should point to that arrow. Its first
sentence should be changed to: "The other path has a duration of 2 +
7 = 9."
- The lower right annotation should point to the "Activity D" box. It
should start with "That means the early start and early finish for D
is really early --"

Am I missing something here, because after applying the above points
to the diagram on page 257, the annotations do not make sense to me.

For example, if we remove Activity E, then the path will be:

Start -> Activity D -> Finish = 2

It says that Activity D should point directly to finish, so then how
can we get 2 + 7 = 9 as the errata annotation above indicates?

It says to open "lounge.html" and change the greentea paragraph, when I'm almost positive it
should be the elixir.html file.

[taken from the Forum: http://www.headfirstlabs.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1426 ]

"computer scientists decided they could represent all 255 values..." should read,
"computer scientists decided they could represent all 256 values..." since there are
256 values in the range of numbers 0 through 255.

Pages 430, 439, 448, 450, 455. 457, 488, 497, & 545 all show the martini glass
background graphic centered within the Weekly Elixir Specials column. In practice,
the image actually begins at the upper-left and tiles from there. Strangely, it is
shown correctly on page 456.

In the bottom diagram the inline elements of the first <p> are shown as:
<span> <em>
<em> <span>

They should be: <span><em>
<span><em>

The settings meant to create a gutter between columns does not actually create that
gutter. The right margin of 'main' must actually be set to *more* than 300px.

"absolute positioning takes the document completely out of the flow"
should be
"absolute positioning takes the element completely out of the flow"

The line:
form action="http://www.starbuzzcoffee.com/processorder.php" method="POST">

does not pass strict validation. The capitalized "POST" must be changed to "post"

The "ship to:" paragraph inside the form.;
There is no </p> closing tag at the end of the "ship to:" paragraph.

The "Submit" button should read "Order Now" because it has a value assigned in the HTML code.

The error is not in the book but in the example code provided in the headfirstlabs.com

The book correctly has no border-color in the table rule.

The example code on the headfirstlabs.com website incorrecly adds a background color to the table.

table {
border: thin dotted #7e7e7e;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #e1ceb8;
}

Multiple selection code and display examples;
The code shows one value but it displays another for 3 of the listed items, i.e., the code
lists:
Penny (value="Penny Priddy", should be value="Penny")
Jersey (value="New Jersey", should be value="Jersey")
John (value="John Parker", should be value="John")

and it displays five 2-named items in the multiple selection option list:
Buckaroo Banzai
Perfect Tommy
Penny Priddy
New Jersey
John Parker
