Where do the new Date() and toDateString() functions come from? Are these standard functions built into the browser? Is there a list of such functions available? |

Es wird auf "View Source Chart" und "Web Developer Toolbar" als Hilfen hingewiesen. Aber noch nützlicher ist meines Erachtens "Firebug". Sollte der Autor anderer Meinung sein ist dies okay, aber ich denke Firebug ist so mächtig, dass daraufhin zumindest hingewiesen werden sollte. |

The accordion tutorial 10.1 went very nicely except for the last addition to the function and CSS file to highlight the opened panel's tab bar in dark blue. I couldn't get it to work in either Safari (3.0.4) or Firefox (3.0.10) on my Mac. I then tried your downloaded "completed_10.1" file and it didn't work either and neither browser showed any signs of remorse over it. The error console in Firefox produced NO errors, but it is clear that the "selectClass: 'current'" part of the function did not work. The CSS file was updated with the new class rule, and I know that style sheet is linked and working because all other parts of the tutorial preformed as they should. Any ideas as to why I'm having this problem? |

The correction posted for this problem by Al Winter doesn't fix the previously submitted mistake. The class .ui-accordion-content-active turns the BODY TEXT background blue (i.e., the "content" in the .ui-accordion-content-active class), not the h2 background as the tutorial is aiming to achieve. |

I am using the book as a self-teaching guide, and have really enjoyed the experience. The book is well-written, and the tutorials are very easy to follow. So, this is probably a very dumb question. I cannot get Tutorial 11.2 to work. I have set up the virtual host using the instructions on p 408, and the host seems to run ok, except I don't know how to get the ch. 11 files on to it. It came with the FTP disabled, and I tried to get it working so I could use my FTP program to upload the files, but no luck. Entering http://localhost/chapter11/11.2.html produces the "url not found error", as I would expect, since the files aren't there. What obvious thing am I missing? |

This is actually in response to the other comments about adding Google maps to a page. I also experienced a problem. When I use the URL googlemaps.com I get the directions perfectly OK, but in English (I want them in German!). When I use googlemaps.de the map works but the 'get directions' does not. I wondered if the german site needs a different instruction to request the information - not getDir? |
