Ch 7 Page 247 VWD flags errors

Hi Imar,
In the try-it-out on page 247, VWD is flagging errors for two of the siteMapNodes.
1: The siteMapNode for ~/About/Default.aspx
2: The closing </siteMapNode> after the About Us line.

On page 246 you say "...there can only be one siteMapNode directly under the siteMap element."

However, the code in the book and in the resource file seems to violate this rule. (Or so it seems to me :-)

The code that I typed is the first codeblock. The code from resources is the second codeblock.

Thanks
Ken

OK,
I found the errors!
I made the "common mistakes" before reading the "common mistakes" warning panel!

Good learning exercise!
Great book.
Thanks
Ken
