One of the nice things about having a *digital* publication is that I can make these changes :). Expect an updated copy of the Visual jQuery Magazine in a few days for archival purposes.

I know about the semantically incorrect XHTML. While you're technically correct (and I'll make an effort to use valid XHTML in the future), it doesn't take much away from the point of the article (and assuming the page rendered, jQuery is capable of grabbing child elements even if they're bad XHTML).

Corrections in a few days. And please send letters to [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Yehuda...

Wanted to point out a few proofreading issues.

In the Prototype article, under jQuery Workflow, first paragraph, the sentence reads

"Most jQuery methods start with the the collection of elements, " (the is shown twice).

----------

In the interview with John, the callout box covering John's chest has a misspelling "the community self-maining...". I assume that should be self-maintaining.

-----------

In John's interview, the second full paragraph in the right hand column on page 7 has a misspelling:

The run-up to jQuery 1.0 had its share of hassles, but had its rewards as well. "The major tirumph was simply getting the code out the door...". Triumph is misspelled.

-----------------

John's interview ends sort of abruptly. I was fully expecting there to be more of it. You might want to consider a better closing paragraph, or use some sort of graphical element to indicate the end of the article. Many paper mags use a large square "period" to indicate a story's completion.

-----------------

The same with the jQuery Object article. It ends rather abruptly.

-----------

Other than these few minor things, the magazine was good for the first issue and had some good content. Good job Yehuda.
