Trouble with tutorial: Adding a Controller

So i'm going through the workbook tutorial located here: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/workbook/index.htm

 

I've been going through it fine, but now I have run into a problem.  On Tutorial #9, Step 4 it is adding a controller to the page, and the code provided is not working.  On the previous step, I had the following:

 

<apex:page standardStylesheets="false" showHeader="false" sidebar="false"> 

<apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.styles, 'styles.css')}" />

<h1>Inventory Count Sheet</h1> 

</apex:page>

 That worked fine, but now that I have gotten to step 4, I have this:

 

<apex:page standardStylesheets="false" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" standardController="Merchandise__c"recordSetVar="products">

<apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.Styles, 'styles.css')}" />

<h1>Inventory Count Sheet</h1> 

</apex:page>

 However when I try to save this I get the error:

 Error: CountSheet line 1, column 110: Element type "apex:page" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>" 
ErrorError: Element type "apex:page" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".


In the tutorial it says to edit the first <apex:page> tag, which is what I beleive I did.  And the error I am not quite getting because I have included attribute specifications and it ends with a >.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance

You are missing a space between "Merchandise__c" and recordSetVar, so that looked like an invalid attribute.   (Error message is not exactly great...)

I'm having trouble, in a completely different way, with this same tutorial.

 

I'm using Safari 6.0.2 on a Macbook Pro.  The tutorial, found here: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/workbook/index.htm, specifically tutorial #9, step #3, discusses how to add a custom CSS file to stylize the visualForce page.  I am performing each tutorial in my Org sandbox, not sure if that matters but I've been able to do each tutorial without incident so far.

 

I download the file from the instructions link, and it downloads unzipped as a folder.  I right-click and compress the folder which creates a zip file on my desktop.  I then follow the instructions to upload the zip file as a static resource into my SalesForce sandbox, setting the Cache Control to "Public" etc.

 

I then copy and paste the code below into my VisualForce page:

 

<apex:page standardStylesheets="false" showHeader="false" sidebar="false"  standardController="Merchandise__c" recordsetVar="products">
   <apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.styles, 'styles.css')}"/>
   <h1>Inventory Count Sheet</h1> 
   <apex:form>
      <apex:dataTable value="{!products}" var="pitem" rowClasses="odd,even"> 
         <apex:column headerValue="Product">
            <apex:outputText value="{!pitem.name}"/>
         </apex:column>
         <apex:column headerValue="Inventory">
            <apex:outputField value="{!pitem.Total_Inventory__c}">
               <apex:inlineEditSupport event="ondblclick" showOnEdit="update"/>
            </apex:outputField>
         </apex:column>
      </apex:dataTable>
      <br/>
      <apex:commandButton id="update" action="{!quicksave}" value="Update Counts"  styleclass="updateButton"/>
   </apex:form>
</apex:page>

 The result does not look anything like the workbook says it should.  In fact, when I delete line 3 from the code it does not change the visual look at all.  This tells me that, clearly, I am not accessing the CSS file that the code wants me to.  

 

Please help!  Thanks in advance :)
