Samples don't work on Linux?

I really find it hard to believe that the samples for the book wouldn't work on Ubuntu Linux, or any other Linux, for that matter. It's really odd and ironic for the book to say that the samples will only work on Windows or MacOS.

The book doesn't say examples won't work on Linux. Are you inferring that from something? Have you tried them? They should work on Firefox on Linux just fine.

From the introduction:

What You Need to Use This Book

To run the samples in the book, you need the following:

Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Vista, or Mac OS X
Internet Explorer 6 or higher, Firefox 2 or higher, Opera 9 or higher, Chrome 0.2 or higher, or Safari 2 or higher.

The complete source code for the samples is available for download at www.wrox.com/.

Ah, that's just an error of omission. Everything should work fine on Linux if you're using one of those browsers.
