Version	Location	Description	Submitted By
Printed	Page 73 <datalist> section	So far as I can tell, the <datalist> tag does not exist in IE or Firefox (or at all?).	Anonymous
Printed	Page 341 Entire Listing for scrollLeft, scrollTop	It might be worth mentioning in future releases that these properties are only available under document.body in quirks mode ... If you have a DOCTYPE defined, these properties will exist under document.documentElement.scrollTop instead. Same goes for scrollLeft.	Anonymous
Printed	Page 343 At the top of the page, concerning the textContent attribute	My printing (03/07) indicates that Safari does not support the textContent attribute. My testing tells me that it does. IE7 still does not however. No surprise.	Anonymous
Printed	Page 371 Top line	scrollIntoView() is support on Netscape Navigator and Mozilla browsers (and was referenced as being supported in Edition 2)	Anonymous
Printed	Page 616 maxlength property near bottom of page	The maxlength property listed on the page should be maxLength. The same goes for the example for this property.	Anonymous
Printed	Page 753 Last example on the page	The first line of the example is as follows: if (document.getElementById("myDIV").style.blockDirection = "rtl") { There should be two equal signs for the comparision to function: if (document.getElementById("myDIV").style.blockDirection == "rtl") {	Anonymous
Printed	Page 815 middle of page	.tfoot should be .tFoot .thead should be .tHead	Anonymous
Printed	Page 838 Range definition: 2nd paragraph	The paragraph states "A Range object is created via the document.createTextRange() method...". This is not the case. It should read "...via the document.createRange() method." This is confirmed in the later "Object Model Reference" which lists "document.createRange()". I have the 2nd edition, but I've confirmed that this incorrect reference still exists in the 3rd edition.	Anonymous
Printed	Page 1012 text-decoration, value section, last 3 words	The statement, "....but Mozilla ignores blink." is not correct. Internet Exporer ignores "blink", all Mozilla Browsers recognize "blink". I tested in Firefox 1.5 and 2, Opera 9.1, and Netscape 4.79, 7.2 and 8.1 (they all blinked). Internet Explorer 5, 6 and 7 did not blink.	Anonymous
Printed	Page 1126 Heading	Pages 1126 thru 1150 have an incorrect page heading. They all read 'XMLList' rather than the Operator/Control statement being covered on each page. The expected heading would be similar to those seen on pages 956 thru 977 of the first edition.	Anonymous
Printed	Page 1127 Page title	From 1127 to 1150 the page title is "XMLlist" rather than the current topic (eg "Operators" for p 1127, "Control Satements" for p1140	Anonymous
Printed	Page 1297 Between "I" and "K"	On my 03/07 printing of this book [purchased from Amazon in Nov, 08] it is missing the "J" section from the Index. That's right, the index goes from A-I to K-Z with no "J" section in between. The J section in the 2nd edition is half a column long, I suspect it'd be longer in the 3rd edition. This should be fixed ASAP.	Bart Grantham
