Also on P121:

7. Add an event listener to the form:
function init() {
‘use strict’;
document.getElementById(‘calcForm’).onsubmit = formatNames;
} // End of init() function.

------

 

The code in Step 7 should actually refer to the element with an id value of theForm, which is what the corresponding downloadable code uses.

I think those are listed on the errata page but, if not, I'll add them.
