It's 1-1 in issue 134 error stakes!

Sometimes the PC Plus production team introduce errors into my Publish and Be... series, other times I manage it all by myself. This month it's been a 1-1 draw. Here's how the match unfolded...

Production opened the score-sheet on page 318, modifying my DHTML diagram by substituting + signs for = signs and drawing one of the red annotation lines to the wrong place. My version was correct (honest!), and to prove it here's a GIF copy of it, pasted from the Word for Windows original:

This is how the diagram on page 318 of PC Plus shoujld have looked, because this is what I sent them. Don't ask me where the errors came from!

But I equalised on page 320, in the orange-backed HTML snippet at the top of the right-hand column. What read

<SPAN ID="MyText" onMouseOver="MyText.style.color='red'" onMouseOut="MyText.style.color='black'")>Try moving the pointer here!</SPAN>

should, or course, have read:

<SPAN ID="MyText" onMouseOver="MyText.style.color='red'" onMouseOut="MyText.style.color='black'">Try moving the pointer here!</SPAN>

minus that completely spurious ) symbol before the > end-of-tag terminator.

 Thanks to eagle-eyed Trophic Caltrop for spotting both boo-boos.
