More Semitones

http://musictheory.halifax.ns.ca Reference this link.

Again, Lesson 7: Small Intervals, page 2, last two sentences.

"There is one other place on the keyboard where there is no black note between white notes: 'B' and 'C'. So a whole tone above 'B' would be 'C#'. Nothing wrong with this statement, right?

Next, page 3. Notice the first measure of the top line of music. The indication (to me) shows to go up one whole tone and the symbols indicate 'B' to 'C', not 'B' to 'C#' per the statement on the previous page.

What am I not seeing?

The example is in the bass clef. So the middle line of the clef is D rather than B. So as P.A. said, you are going from D to E, which is indeed a whole step.
