UPDATE!
In the days since Adobe
PageMill F/X and Design hit the streets, we've received a number
of reader emails. There are a handful of items that have come to light.
CD-ROM Stuff
- Due to an oversight in
the CD-ROM mastering process, the Modern Minds Java applets
were not placed on the PC side of the disc (although they are
on the Mac side). Please accept our sincere apologies for this matter.
You can download the applets from the Modern
Minds Web site.
- The serial number for
Interleaf Jamba can be found on the CD-ROM's readme.txt file.
Please note that Interleaf has temporarily taken the trial version
of Jamba off their Web site ...
there appears to be an issue with Jamba and Windows 98. If you are
running Windows 98, it would be prudent to hold off on installing
the Jamba trial version until Interleaf posts a fix.
- Appendix A documents the
Java and JavaScript resources on the original Adobe PageMill 3.0
CD-ROM ... not the CD-ROM that accompanies the book.
 This logo file (simplink.gif)is
missing from the chapter 5 folder on the CD-ROM. To save the file
to your computer, right-click (PC) or click and hold down the mouse
button (Mac).
Text Stuff (the following

What's Up With
?
PageMill adds
(non-breaking space) commands to empty table cells. This prevents the
cell from healing over.
As you use the Tab key to
move from cell to cell, the contents of the cell will be automatically
selected, to remove the command, just type the new cell contents.

...far for those scripts;
the original Adobe PageMill 3 release CD-ROM contains a large selection
of canned JavaScripts from The JavaScript Source. We've included a handy
list of those scripts in the appendix, so you can find the script you
need at a glance. You can also find a list of scripts on the original
Adobe PageMill 3 release CD-ROM in the completescriptdirectory.html
file.
