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>.

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.

(on Windows XP)

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.

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.”

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.

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

OS X. On a PC you select the OK button after highlighting a file."

"trial version"): "We have included:"
