Pages 155 through 202 are completely missing from the book. They have not been torn out our cut out. It appears as though the book was bound without those pages. |

Another minor suggestion: in Step 1, you say "...click right below the Chia Vet logo..." To Windows users, click right means to click the right button (which opens a long menu). I suggest deleting the word "right" so that it reads "...click below the Chia Vet logo, inside the grassy background image..." |

Hi, In prder to vertically align ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.li with ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul (at margin-left 15px)I had to use margin-left -15px and not 0px. Logically, this seems to make sense in order to align or is it my mistake. Thanks - by the way - BRILLIANT book. |

When I tried to do this with the "Optional Region" it worked incorrectly every time - the optional region ended up being created AT THE POINT I CLICKED THE MOUSE instead of for the current selection (the Div). Only when I clicked on the thick blue line surrounding the selection did it function as it is supposed to. |
