Reading Assignments and Potential Quiz questions
By September 6th:
Read Chapter 2 in text.
Questions: p23 3, 4; p27 1; p38 3, 4; p47 1, 3, 5; p51 Ex. 3, 8.
Read Chapter 3 in text.
Questions: p60 1, 2; p69 2, 3, 4; p72 1; p74 1; p77 2; p80 Ex. 6, 8.
Note: the text has errors on pages 65 and 71.
For font-variant the property may be set to small-caps or normal (not none as in the text).
The book makes this same mistake on the top of page 71.
Also, page 65, middle of the page in the code block, it should be "small-caps" instead of "smallcaps" in that last line of code.

if(document.images == true){
