Hi, i'm from Poland and I wonder about one thing. I write code in new HTML5 standards and learning JS from your Head First book. I'm on 3'rd chapter so far and I had stucked on resizing iRock for 2 hours on comparing my code to orginal or trying to get what's wrong by showing all variabales values on each moment. At least I figured that the gilty was in <!DOCTYPE html> tag and i wonder now why? Did that method changed for HTML5? Until that moment everything worked just fine. I don't want to go back to xhtml or html 4.01 for JS.

PS: Sorry for grammar mistakes.

It's something to do with the <!doctype html> declatation.
You can fix this by setting up some CSS...

<style type="text/css">
body, html {
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
</style>
