The exercise text says 'Make the list item "Epicurious" link to its web page at www.epicurious.com following my example, but the example shows The Food Network item being linked, not Epicurious. |

The side note "Style Sheet Hierarchy" implies that embedded style sheets always override linked external and imported style sheets. However, my experience is that the style sheet "closest to the content" overrides all those listed before it, regardless of the type of style sheet it is. Therefore it is quite possible for the rules in a particular linked external style sheet to override conflicting rules in any other linked, embedded, or imported style sheet, if that external style sheet is listed last in the doc head. (Assuming there are no !important declarations in earlier conflicting rules.) I believe this just reflects the order in which the browser reads the style sheets, not any inherent weight associated with style sheet type (!important aside). |

Printed | Page 398 first CSS rule on page 398, with selector #container:after |
The first CSS rule on page 398 (for clearfix) has extraneous declarations that cause incorrect output (i.e., they produce an extra box with a dashed outline below the two paragraphs). |
