HTML5 & CSS3 for the Real World

Corrections and Typos

1st edition, May 2011

• p.8 Where it says:
  "What this means is that you could take any of your current projects containing valid HTML4 or XHTML markup, change the doctype to HTML5 (which we’ll cover in Chapter 2), and the page will still validate and appear the same as it did before."
  
  It should say:
  "What this means is that you could take any of your current projects containing valid HTML4 or XHTML markup, change the doctype to HTML5 (which we’ll cover in Chapter 2), and with a few minor tweaks, the page will still validate and appear the same as it did before."
• p.43 code block There is a missing closing p tag between the second and third paragraphs.
• p.52 First paragraph Regarding the "reversed" attribute, where it says: " ... when present, reverses the order of the list items."
  
  It should say: " ... when present, reverses the numbering of the list items, while keeping the items in the same order."
• p.58 In the code example register.html, the id attribute is missing its initial quotation mark; it should read id="rating"
• p.79 In the example that uses the new color input type, the code example reads type="text" when it should be type="color"
• p.79 Last paragraph Under "Dates and Times" the line breaks up the input type "datetime-local" so it looks like "date-time-local", which isn't valid. There shouldn't be a hyphen between "date" and "time".
• p.84 The optgroup Element section Says <optgroup> accepts nested optgroups, but this is no longer allowed. The entire section on "optgroup" should be removed.
• p.90 Table 5.1 Support for MP4/H.264/AAC for Chrome says "3–11" but this should say "3+". Chrome was supposed to drop support for it, but they haven't yet.
• p.103 First bullet point "CSS classes are being used to represent the different states; those classes will be added and removed using JavaScript."
  
  This bullet point should be removed, as it doesn't apply because no such classes are present. The classes are added/removed later in the chapter using JavaScript, but they don't need to be discussed at this stage.
• p.157 last code block In the old-style -webkit-gradient syntax block, the starting and ending positions of the gradients are missing. The block should read:

  background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, center top, center bottom,
  from(rgba(0,0,0,0.4)), 
  color-stop(37%, rgba(0,0,0,0)),
  color-stop(83%, rgba(0,0,0,0)), 
  color-stop(92%, rgba(0,0,0,0.16)), 
  color-stop(98%, rgba(0,0,0,0)));

• p.250, 264, 327 Footnotes 13, 26, and 5, respectively These footnotes contain links to Mark Pilgrim's website "divintohtml5.org". Those links are now dead. All the links should now point to "diveintohtml5.info", with the same page names. (Mark took all his content offline and didn't provide any redirects, so the community has taken his content and put it elsewhere.)
