Thanks to Dan Glickman for spotting this one. In the Table of Contents, the page numbers for the sections "namespace-uri" through "Summary", are all one page out (one page less than they should be)

Thanks go to Viktor Heimonen for pointing this one out.

In the code block at the top of the page, the closing tag is at the end of the second line. It should be at the end of the third line, after the namespace declaration.

Thanks to Eugene Morozov for submitting this correction.

At the beginning of the last paragraph, the book says, "Namespaces are identified by a Unique Resource Identifier (URI)." URI is a "Uniform Resource Identifier", not a "Unique Resource Identifier".

Second to last line before final code block:

select="book/author/first-name"

&npsp;&npsp;&npsp;&npsp;...should be expressed

?select="book/author/first-name"?
(using guillemets)

Thanks to Paul Larson for spotting this.

In the middle row of the XPath tree diagram in the centre of the page, the centre cells of the second, fourth, and sixth boxes should read "noun", "verb, and "noun", respectively.

Thanks again to Gustaf Jarnling for spotting this one.

The first paragraph reads:

"... how to use modes are in Chapter 4, page 323 and an example ..."

The section "Using Modes" is actually found in Chapter 4, page 320

Thanks to Mike Snowden for spotting this.

Towards the bottom of the page, there is a page reference for a section entitled "Literal". It should say page 389, not page 388

Thanks to Mike Snowden for pointing out this one.

In the code block at the foot of the page, there is a surplus closing angle bracket at the end of the third line that shouldn't be there.

Thanks to Derrf Seitz for submitting this erratum. The two <xsl:value-of> elements on this page should be self-closing (that is they should end ../>)

Thanks to Richard Day for spotting this.

When the closing tags were added to the <xsl:value-of> elements, this seems to have mangled the end of the select attributes. These elements should read:

<xsl:value-of select="name($months/*[position()=$mm])" />

and:

<xsl:value-of select="name(xx:node-set($months)/*[position()=$mm])" />

Thanks to Dan Glickman for this. The output shown on the page says "XSLT 1.1 Programmer's Reference..". It should say "XSLT Programmer's Reference.."

Thanks to Dan Glickman for this.

The output shown on the page says "XSLT 1.1 Programmer's Reference..". It should say "XSLT Programmer's Reference.."

Thanks to Gustaf Jarnling for spotting this.

At the bottom of the page, we have the text "..calls this facility Literal Result Element as Stylesheet113." The 113 shouldn't be there, please ignore it!

Thanks again to Gustaf Jarnling for alerting us to this.

books.xml is listed on page 77, not 59 as we state towards the bottom of the page.

Thanks to Viktor Heimonen for spotting this one.

At the top of the page, in the italicized background box, there is a typo. Where it says Date.toString(), it should say Date:toString()

Thanks to Dan Glickman for spotting this.

There is a page reference to 544. It should say 545.

Thanks to Erik Abbink for submitting this correction.

The <img> tag in the code on this page should be self-closing.

Thanks go to Robin Meade for bringing this one to our attention.

In the code block towards the foot of the page, we've incorrectly used an implements-prefix="Math" attribute for the <xsl:script> element. It should be implements-prefix="Date"

Thanks to Robin Meade for spotting this one.

The first example on this page declares a js namespace but then goes on to use an ms namespace. The namespace declaration should say:
xmlns:ms="javascript:my-extensions"

Thanks again to Viktor Heimonen for pointing out this one.

In the gray code block, the parentheses in the second line are incorrect. The line should read:
starts-with(system-property('xsl:vendor'), 'xalan')">

The characters denoting whitespace characters at the bottom of the page haven't printed. There should be a newline character at the end of each line except the last, a tab at the beginning of each line except the first and the last, and three spaces after the tab before each of the three lines between the place-of-work tags.

In the code block at the top of the page, there should be newline characters (in black on a gray background) at the end of three lines starting with thge place-of-work oopening tag. The characters at the end of the second and third lines should be the same as the first (that is, white newline characters on a black background).

Thanks to Dan Glickman for spotting this.

There is a page reference to 532. It should be to 533

Thanks to Al Cadalzo for submitting this erratum.

The second line in the first block of example code on this page is incorrect. It should read:
<xsl:attribute name="border">2</xsl:attribute>

Thanks to David Nesbitt for alerting us to this mistake.

In the second code box on the page, the width attribute shown in the output is incorrect. It should be <table ns001:width="200"...

Thanks to Ian Limn for supplying us with this correction.

The third line needs to read:
<xsl:sort select="count(LINE)" data-type="number"/>, because the sort type defaults to "text". Without this correction, the code will not work as intended with speech longer than 9 lines

Thanks to Dan Glickman for spotting this.

In the code block towards the bottom of the page, it should say <xsl:variable name="node-id"..(not "note-id")

At the end of the single line xsl:key code block in the middle of the page, there is a missing "/>" at the end of the line.

Thanks to Dan Glickman for spotting this.

There are page references to 530 and 536 on the page. They should be to 531 and 537 respectively

Thanks to Dan Glickman for spotting this.

There is a page reference to 559. It should be to 560.

Thanks to Erik Abbink for submitting this correction. The first line of code has been erroneously printed twice.

Thanks to David Nesbitt for spotting this error.

The text on line 3 of the paragraph after the bullets should read:

The default value is <<no>>. The value <<yes>> may be ignored in some
circumstances...

Thanks to Amin Mohadjer (Aditi) for pointing out this one.

In the first paragraph on the page, there is a incorrect page reference to a fully worked example in Chapter 7. This should read 555, not 553.

Thanks to Dan Glickman for spotting this.

There is a page reference to 544. It should be to 545.

Thanks to Dan Glickman for spotting this.

There is a page reference to 559. It should be to 560.

An "R in circle", ?, hasn't printed on this page. The last sentence of the third paragraph from the bottom should read: "I find it helpful to think of an AbsoluteLocationPath <</X>> as an abbreviation for an imaginary expression <<?/X>>, and <</>> as an abbreviation for <<?>>, where <<?>> represents the document root node.

Thanks to SATO Naoki for submitting this error. At the bottom of the page the book states, "A non-trivial AndExpr consists of one or more EqualityExpr..". It should say "A non-trivial AndExpr consists of two or more EqualityExpr.."

Thanks to Bradley Grainger for spotting this one.

In the second to last example in the Examples table, the book should say "...converted to the Boolean true if their length is non-zero" not "if their length is zero"

Thanks to Bradley Grainger for alering us to this one.

In the sixth line up from the bottom of the page, we state "...the result of comparing the string operand...". This should read "...the result of converting the string operand..."

At the bottom pf the page, there is a page reference to an example in Appendix A. This reference should read 721, not 706.

Thanks to Jeff Yemin for submitting this. In the table, the id() function has a cross next to it. As it is part of the XPath core functions, it should have a tick next to it.

Thanks to Ant??nio Ferreira for alerting us to this one.

The "Format" section for the "contains" function is in the wrong place. It should be below the "Defined in" section.

Page 504, middle of the page.

Reads: <xsl:for-each select=key('country-group', @country)">

Should be: <xsl:for-each select="key('country-group', @country)">

Note the missing double quote.

Thanks to Stephen Ng for submitting this correction. The last paragraph on the page should read:

In all these cases, the safest approach is not to write <<name()!='description'>>, but rather to write <<local-name()!='description' and namespace-uri()=''>>

In copies of this book printed prior to March 2002, there is a missing closing square bracket in the fourth code example. i.e.:

????????<xsl:for-each select="*[not(self::notes)">

should be:

????????<xsl:for-each select="*[not(self::notes)]">

Thanks to Dan Glickman for spotting this.

There is a page reference to 606. It should be to 604.

Thanks to SATO Naoki for submitting this correction.

In the diagram at the bottom of the page, the first line of the bottom table should read FAM ID=F1, not INDI ID=I1

Thanks to Eric Smith and Gustaf Jarnling for spotting this. Halfway down the page, where a page reference should be, it says "Error! Bookmark not defined" due to a production error. It should say 107.

Thanks to SATO Naoki for pointing out that the OracleXML utility is now called the Oracle XML SQL Utility.
