Chapter 10 page 361 Missing Code in Example

jpjamie · November 1st, 2014, 02:38 PM

Just want to point out that in Chapter 10, page 361 (very bottom of the page) this errata:

This Code

Code:

<input id="SayHello" type="button" value="Say Hello" />

Should Be:

Code:

<input id="SayHello" type="button" value="Say Hello" onclick="helloWorld();" />

Sure, this is more than likely listed in the errata, but I want to show it here.

The greeting fails without "onclick="helloWorld()" />.

This may be obvious to experienced programmers.

It's all in the details!

Imar: Great book!

Hi JJ,

The code at the end of page 361 is fine as it's just the starting point for the button. But it looks like you missed step 5 on page 362 that reads:

Add an onclick attribute to the button so that it calls the helloWorld method when you click it. Your code should look like this:

Code:

<input id="SayHello" type="button" value="Say Hello" onclick="helloWorld();" />

It's all in the details indeed ;-)

Hope this helps,

Imar

Now I'm 0 for 2!!

Don't know how I miss the obvious...it was RIGHT THERE!

At least I figured it out.

Thanks!
