The code check contains an incorrect table width of 90%. Though this would not cause problems in any browser, it is inconsistent with the previously instructed width of 85% and could cause confusion. The corrected first line of the code check:
<table width="85%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="Layout Table">

Figure 239 (Navigator 4 preview) should show the main cell content with line-height still applied, as we have not yet edited the #mn selectors.

In the version 4 style sheet code check, the #sidebar rule should contain a font-size declaration of 12px:
#sidebar {
font-size: 12px;
width: 176px;

Because we have added a font-size declaration to the #mn p rule in mfv4.css, we need to counter that in mfv5.css
-Open mfv5.css
-Scroll down to the #mn p rule and edit it to add a font-size declaration:
#mn p {
margin: 12px 0px 0px;
font-size: 100%;
}We've set font size to 100% because the #mn rule declares font-size to be 80%. So, #mn p font size is 100% of 80%... or exactly the same.
-Save and Close mfv5.css

In the section headed: Editing the Navbg Image, the word Slices is misspelled in the following line:

Unfortunately, webreview.com has gone out of business and the link to the selector chart is no longer available. For now, you can find the chart at Netscape's Devedge site. However, since Netscape is no longer in business, we cannot gurantee how long this link will be available.
Chapter 12- Adding More Menu Links
When adding new sets of sublinks to the optional SwapClass Menu, we reused the #nbutspacer ID on the. While this works in all target browsers, it is technically not correct. The Second Edition of the book contains this passage as a corrective measure:
Remember to assign an nbutspacer ID to the last sublink paragraph in each group. Be-cause ID Selectors should define only one element per page, we’ll need to create an nbut-spacer rule for each link it needs to be applied to. Since we need to apply it to four links, make three copies of the rule and name the copies: #nbutspacer2, #nbutspacer3, and #nbutspacer4. Or, since we are using the same property/value, we can make a combined selector by editing the existing #nbutspacer rule.
-Open mfv4.css, find the #nbutspacer rule and edit it to read like this:
#nbutspacer, #nbutspacer2, #nbutspacer3, #nbutspacer4 {
margin-bottom: 16px;
}-Save and Close mfv4.css

To maintain Navigator 4 support, you should also add this new rule to mfv4.css
-Open mfv4.css and locate the p.navbuts rule
-Append the rule to create this new combined selector rule:
p.navbuts, p.navbuts-dn {
font-size: 16px;
margin: 0px 0px 4px 16px;
}
