JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 3rd edition
by David Flanagan


Following are the changed made in the 5/99 reprint:


(29) In the fifth paragraph:

	"++ and - postfix operators"

now reads:

	"++ and -- postfix operators."


(32) The words "false", "null", and "true" have been added to
Table 2-1, and removed from Table 2-3.


<49> A footnote has been added after "For example:", the 3rd line of
text on this page. It reads:

    This code does not work properly if the year of
    xmas is 1999, as explained in the reference section
    descriptions of Date.getYear() and Date.setYear().
    In JavaScript 1.2, simply replace these deprecated
    Date methods with the Y2K-compliant getFullYear() and
    setFullYear().


{75} The third example line of code read:

	Result is 12.

It now reads:

	Result is "12".


{77} Section 5.8, the section now begins:

  The bitwise operators require numeric arguments. They internally
  coerce these numbers from their default floating-point representation
  into a 32-bit integer representation. With Navigator 2 and 3, if
  the operands do not fit in a 32-bit integer representation, the
  operators return NaN. In ECMAScript and JavaScript 1.2, however,
  these operators simply coerce their operands to 32-bit integers,
  even if it results in lost data.


[135]  Figure 8-1 showed value for pi as 3.1459.
It now reads: 3.14159.


<177> In the Regular Expression Chapter (Ch. 10), the first example
read:

        var pattern = "/java/i";

It now reads:

	var pattern = /java/i;


(241) The first line of code read:

        var w= window.open ("smallwin.html", "smallwin",
                        "width=400,height=350,status=yes,resizeable=yes");

It now reads:

        var w= window.open ("smallwin.html", "smallwin",
                        "width=400,height=350,status=yes,resizable=yes");


(390) section 21.6, the e-mail address:

      http://developer.netscape.com/software/signedobj/

is not exactly where you can find the signtool program. It can be found
at this URL:

      http://developer.netscape.com/software/signedobj/jarpack.html


(544) In the name section of image properties, sentence 2 currently
read:

        "When an image is given an name with the ..."

It now reads:

        "When an image is given a name with the ..."


{646} The line 10 from bottom of page now reads:

        document.write(navigator.plugins["Shockwave"]  ?

Ie, replace the () brackets with [] around the word "Shockwave".
