Errata

Chapter 1 - Background

Page 12

All of the tags in steps 6, 7, 9, and 10 should have the "/" character right after the "<" character. For example, the correct syntax for these tags would be </title>, </head>, </body>, and </html>.

Chapter 05

Exercise 3

The links that are created in steps 1 through 8 will not work properly when used on pages that are not in the same folder as the index.html page. Therefore, while you will be able to use the Link History to add these links to HTML pages in the various sub folders, the links themselves will not work. This exercise has been revised and a PDF was been uploaded here for you to download. In addition, a whole new set of the chap_05 files (.zip) have been uploaded here as well.

Item #4, Windows:  Should read "click the plus sign" in both cases, not the minus sign.

Page 91

Item #7, Windows:  Should read "Click Select" instead of Open.  (on Windows XP)

Page 137

Item #11 (and following):  the Link History is not a popup menu, it is a dropdown list.

Step 8 - should say 'tools_and_supplies/index.html' not 'tools_and_resources/index.html'

In the illustration of font sizes, "FONT SIZE none" is more like HTML size 4 instead of the default of HTML size 3 which it should be.

The screenshots are reversed. It should read as follows.


MAC


WINDOWS

Page 373

The text in the screenshot on page 373 is incorrect. The text in the Over Image and Down Image text field are inverted. The correct text would be as follows:
Over Image: .../images/art_over.jpg
Down Image: .../images/art_down.jpg

 "Please check this box if you would like a brochure mailed to you."
The instructions say to type that sentence to the right of the checkbox, in row 7, column 1; but the picture indicates, (correctly, I believe), that it should be typed into row 7, column 2.

As reads: “Choose File > New from Template. This will open the New from Template dialog box. Click the Templates tab to select it. Note: If you are using a Macintosh, you must select File > New and then select the Templates tab.”

It should read: “Choose File > New and then select the Templates tab. Note: If you are using a Macintosh, you must select File > New from Template. This will open the New from Template dialog box. Click the Templates tab to select it.”

Page 578

There is a Warning at the bottom of page 578 that incorrectly states information within the <head> area of an HTML document cannot be edited once a template has been applied to a page. It also states that you cannot add any JavaScript or CSS, which is not true. In Dreamweaver MX, you can use CSS, Behaviors, META tags, and other content that needs to be placed into the <head> area of a document because Dreamweaver MX automatically inserts an editable area into the <head> of each templated document.

Page 576-578

There is a small bug in the HTML file that was used in Exercise 2, which is carried over into Exercise 3. The tool_info editable region is wrapped around a <div> tag that has the align=”left” attribute applied to it. This align attribute will cause problems when you try to align the editable region in the template. You can delete the align=”left” to correct this problem.

As reads:"...Choose button. This is the correct way to do it on the PC using windows XP"
Should read: "...Choose button. This is the correct way to do it on a Mac using OS X. On a PC you select the OK button after highlighting a file."
