Nice work, and interesting reading (as always) ...

One question, did you intend to leave interactive form fields turned on in this edition? When I mouse over one and click, I get a windows popup:

The document is trying to connect to the site; 
$$$/Dialog/Behaviors/GoToView/DefaultURL 
If you trust the site click "Yes", otherwise click "No".

Clicking yes of course doesn't take you anywhere as "$$$" is not a valid URL.
I'm using Firefox 9.0.1 with the FoxIt reader plugin 3.1.4.1125 under WinXP 64 if you need the information.

Cheers!

Hi Jeff,

Where's that link? What page? I'll sort ASAP

thanks for spotting it

Hi Rich ... page 42, the large graphic and the smaller Twitter on the bottom have the problem

Cheers

Rich -- The publication keeps getting better and better. The gallery section is a great addition and I feel very honored to have been included.

Also -- Do you know where I can buy a copy of Hellnbak's "Munster Koach"? I can only afford to spend about $13.99.

Rich O Brien

Glad you liked it!

You'll like my $5 Munster Koach more
