Printed	Page xiii 1st to 4th line	"[I \| am]? the \|\| walrus" According to the precedence rules from page xv (and the CSS 2.1 specification) this is equivalent to [[I \| am]? the] \|\| walrus "Either the word 'I' or 'am' may be used, but not both, but use of either is optional. In addition, either 'the' or 'walrus', or both, must follow in any order." This does not fit the expression. One must use either 'the' or 'walrus', or both in any order. In addition, if 'the' is used, it may optionally be preceded with either 'I' or 'am' (but not both). "Thus, you could construct I the walrus, am walrus the, am the, I walrus, walrus the, and so forth" The following constructs must be removed or replaced: * am walrus the	Anonymous
Printed	Page 171 Last line	My copy has 1/08 in the lower right corner. On page 171, last line, I think the word "height" should be capitalized. I was looking for the beginning of the sentence but then figured maybe it was a typo. Same type of error on page 163, second from the last line. I believe "width" should be capitalized. It's a little confusing is all. Great book!	David Spitzer

Figure 10-45 is a third of the way down from the top of page 324, and Figure 10-47 is directly across from it on page 325, but 10-46 is nowhere to be found on either page or any preceding or subsequent pages.

Printed	Page 354 CSS below the first paragraph	Currently: The border-spacing property is in the td element. A #squeeze ID selector is defined on a td element What it should be: The border-spacing property should be in the table element, not the td element. There should be some html that references id="squeeze" since image 11-7 shows cell two being "squeezed". The html on page 353 would do, if <td>cell two</td> were replaced by: <td id="squeeze">cell two</td>	Anonymous
Printed	Page 371 CSS2 values	It's actually the errata online that has this error. Currently, the errata states: (371) In the "CSS2.1 values" portion of the property box, the following items have been added: " \| katakana-iroha" after "hiragana-iroha \| " You need to change "CSS2.1" to "CSS2."
