You can use methods described in the book (Part III) for any locating resources that may have moved.
Second edition (1995) errata
- The software to go with the book URL (on the last printed page) doesn't work yet (someone at Sams.Net is working on it); For now, use: https://www.mcp.com/samsnet/track1/SOFTWARE/software.htm.
- p. 447. under heading "Lycos," replace URL https://lycos.cs.cmu.edu/ with https://www.lycos.com.

First edition (1994) errata
- On page 747 (Chapter 33) the description of body elements shows an H1 declaration and two H2 declarations. The closing H1 marker is lacking the /, which needs to be there.
- [Corrected in second printing]
The
URL for the book support web
given in the introduction is incorrect. The host name
should be "www.rpi.edu" (not "www.rpt.edu"). Of course,
if you've found this support web, you already know this;
but, if you are teaching a course or providing the book
for others, you can pass this information to them.
We apologize for the typo, and it is ironic, given
the care I advise in the handling of URLs
elsewhere in the book. The error involves the transmission
of this URL to the printer who had to type it in by
hand for the printing. (As I mention in Part III,
cut-and-paste methods work best!).
I hope that readers will be able to locate the URL for this support web using the advice about URLs on page 306. This support web URL is registered with spiders, available through finger johndecember@gmail.com, available in other indexes on the Web, and was included with publicity about the book. Of course, I or any of the authors could assist a user in locating it via email. Once again, apologies for this error.
- [Corrected in second printing]
Page 762: the anchor:
<A NAME="JUMP-TO-NAME">Something</A>
Should have "Something" in it. See the chapter support page for more explanation. In fact, view the HTML source for that file itself, as it contains an example of this use from the anchor above.
- [Corrected in second printing] CyberWeb mentioned in the book is not sponsored by Charm Net (which is the Internet service provider), but is a project of Alan Richmond. Thanks to him for clearing this up. CyberWeb is a very good resource collection that emerged more prominently and developed more as I was writing about it (and even more since then); for a more stable URL, use the one given in the anchor above for CyberWeb. The URL given on page 1002 is for Charm Net. Use the URL given in the anchor above for the CyberWeb. CyberWeb is now part of CERN's Virtual Library.
