The wrong screenshot is shown in the book. The correct screenshot is shown below.

The File Name callout for the image at the top of the page 91 is pointing to the incorrect item. The correct version of the screenshot is shown below.

An index.html file already exists in the chap_04 folder. You can overwrite the file when prompted.

Page 96

In step 3 you are directed to right of 'header.gif'. Instead, you should have been directed to click to the right of 'logo3.gif'.

Page 136

Step 9 should have directed you to enter Email: orders@website.com.

Page 178 – Step 1

The path to the image on the text3.html somehow became corrupted causing the image to not be displayed properly. You can download a corrected version of the file below:

Be sure to unzip the revised text3.html page into the chap_06 folder. You can overwrite the one that is already there.

Page 184

text5.html.zip (1.5 KB)

Be sure to unzip the revised text5.html page into the chap_06 folder. You can overwrite the one that is already there.

Page 194

The note at the bottom of the page indicates that you will see the generic Flash icon instead of the actual text. This is inconsistent and in most cases you should see the real preview of the text without clicking Play in the Properties Inspector.

Page 201

At the top of this page, it says “As you move your mouse over the table, rows, and cells, a thin red outline will appear.” Actually, the red line will not appear over individual table cells unless you press the Ctrl key.

Page 224 - Step 3

This step should have directed you to the Title/Encoding category instead of the General category.

Page 225

The screenshot at the top of the page is incorrect. The correct screenshot is shown below.

Page 227 – Step 11

This step indicates that some of the cells will collapse, which is not true. Because you set all of the cell widths to 200 pixels earlier, the cells will not collapse when you paste the text into the various cells.

Page 235

The Page Properties window, in the final version of Dreamweaver MX 2004, is slightly different than the one shown on page 235. The correct screenshot is shown below.

Page 258

The title of the index.html page is not set to Chapter 8, it is set to “Working with Tracing Images.”

Page 292

The screenshot in Step 24 identifies a small gap in Internet Explorer 6. This gap will not appear because earlier in the exercise you've set the page margins to 0.

Page 296

The code illustrated on page 296 for an External (linked) style sheet is incorrect. The proper code example should be:
<link href="mystyles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Page 303 – Step 9

The B button is on the right, not the left as indicated in the step.

Page 307

The Tip at the bottom of the page indicates you can click the Reference button in the Toolbar. This is incorrect. To access the Reference Panel, you must choose Window > Reference or press Shift+F1.

Page 314

The "aboutus" folder was mistakenly left off the CD-ROM during the production of the book. This folder contains the aboutus.html and ourhistory.html files, which are referenced in steps 11 through 20. You can download the files necessary to complete step 11 on page 314 by clicking on the appropriate link below. You will need to copy the “aboutus” folder you download into the chap_09 directory in order to complete the exercise properly.

aboutus.zip (7 KB)

Page 319

The printer made an error when printing certain copies of the book and the screenshot on page 319 maybe distorted at the top. The final on the CD will not look like this.

Page 339

This step should have instructed you to click anywhere in the four lines of text at the top of the page instead of clicking and dragging to manually select that text. The revised step should be:
9. Click anywhere in the four lines of text at the top of the page. This will place your cursor between the opening and closing <p> tag.
As the text in step 20 points out, because these four lines of text are contained within a block-level tag <p>, you don't have to click and drag to select all four lines before you apply the Class.

In step 12 it incorrectly states the keyboard shortcut to open the Behaviors panel is Shift+F3. It should have stated Shift+F4.

Page 408

Step 16 should have directed you the following:

  • For nav6.gif (Locations), select image “blank3.”

Page 476

Step 15 should have directed you to press Return/Enter before clicking the Checkbox object.

Page 479

The form.html page already contains a <form> tag, so there is no need to insert one. You can skip step #2 on page 479. Just remember that every time you add a form to your page, all of the form elements must be within a <form> tag.

The Calendar Object from S.Richards will not work on the Macintosh version of Dreamweaver MX 2004. Unfortunately, there is no update planned that I am aware of. However, there are other Calendar objects available that will help you accomplish something very similar.

Page 605

The incorrect library_02.html page was added to the CD-ROM and it contained some extra <div> and formatting tags that unnecessarily complicated this exercise. You can download the corrected file here.
