On page 43 of the book (pdf page 71 of 436) the link to listing 4.3 'Adding tax to find the total cost' (http://jsbin.com/kawocu/edit?js.console) is in reality directing to the listing 4.2 (http://jsbin.com/gewegi/edit?js,console), so the url link in the pdf is wrong.

Before, I write about the line that is not correct, I'd like to write a statement about the book. This is a wonderful book. I've had and read two or three other books in this subject, none of them teaches you JavaScript the way that this book does. The layout is wonderful. Thanks.

The second line on page 347, listing 19.1,

<div id="news"> </news>

The closing tag must be </div>.

Page 54, second line:

... the player display logic...

Should be

... the movie display logic...

Page 60, Listing 5.3

The last annotation reads:

When the function "It's full of stars!" is assigned...

It should read:

When the function is called, "It's full of stars!" is assigned...

Page 166, Section 10.3.2

The penultimate comment reads:

// The place is the specified direction.

It should read:

// The place in the specified direction.

Page 176, Figure 11.3

The top right gray box says:

exits array []

It should say:

exits object {}

Page 266, paragraph before listing 15.1.

It says:

In the listing 15.1...

It should say:

In listing 15.1...

Page 336, Listing 18.7

The text box should be a self-closing tag to be consistent with the previous sections.

<input type="text" id="txtCommand">

...should be...

<input type="text" id="txtCommand" />

Page 110, Table 8.1

The example for

forEach

ends with a curly brace:

}

It should also have a closing parenthesis and semicolon:

});

Listing 13.17 and Listing 13.18 on jsbin:

https://jsbin.com/zikuta/edit?html,js,console

doesn't work. It produces a "ReferenceError: theCrypt is not defined"


To fix it, change the html from 'http' to 'https', like this:



<!-- spacer -->
<script src="https://output.jsbin.com/juneqo.js"></script>

<!-- Player constructor -->
<script src="https://output.jsbin.com/nubijex.js"></script>

<!-- Place constructor -->
<script src="https://output.jsbin.com/dofuci.js"></script>

<!-- Map code -->
<script src="https://output.jsbin.com/dipaxo.js"></script>

<!-- Game initialization -->
<script src="https://output.jsbin.com/fisupe.js"></script>

Thanks. I've updated the code for the example on JSBin
