I was just wondering what changes have been made to the 2nd Edition of the book? While browsing the contents at amazon I noticed a new chapter on XML, what other revisions have been made?

You hit probably the biggest single change, the new XML chapter. In addition:

We updated the Server Side Scripting with ASP chapter to cover IIS and Win XP, rather than the old "PWS" (Personal Web Server).
We updated all the code to be compatible with current browsers.
We updated and changed examples as needed throughout.
Other minor changes throughout.

hi i just purchased the old copy- is there a chance that i could get a download of the current changes to the book, as some samples dont work.?

Well you can certainly download all the code samples for the 2nd edition. Those are at:

Those are there for you to use.
But, as a list of changes from the 1st to 2nd edition, no we didn't keep a detailed record of that.
