Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Let's start off with a basic formatting tag. What does the B tag do?

Answer: Make text bold

To make text bold, all one need do is place it between a starting bold tag and an ending bold tag.
2. Which of the following formatting tags is incorrectly matched with what it yields?

Answer: < UL >/Underlined text

The UL tag is used to create an unordered list. To create underlined text, use the U tag in the same way that you would use the B tag.
3. Which of the following tags would you use to create a list with each item numbered?

Answer: < OL >

The OL tag creates ordered, or numbered, lists. The UL tag creates unordered, or bulleted, lists. The last type of list, a definition list, is created using the DL tag. The remaining answer choice, NL, is made up.
4. When you select an answer to a multiple choice question on Funtrivia (HTML mode), what is it, in HTML lingo, that you are clicking?

Answer: A radio button

Radio buttons are created using the FORM tag. Unlike checkboxes, radio buttons only allow users to select one choice and selecting one deselects all others in the same group.
5. What would you use to display multiple HTML documents in one browser window?

Answer: Frames

Because frames require you to create multiple HTML documents, using them can be confusing. HTML beginners should probably stay away from coding with them.
6. Which tag is used to create drop-down menus?

Answer: < SELECT >

Drop-down menus are a handy way to provide many options without taking up as much space as radio buttons would.
7. If a tag has been replaced by another tag in a later version of HTML, what is it said to be?

Answer: Deprecated

Use of deprecated tags is not advisable, because future web browsers may not support them. Deprecated tags include MENU, FONT, CENTER, U , and S.
8. What symbol differentiates most opening tags from closing tags?

Answer: /

For the most part, closing tags start with a backslash.
9. Everything between an opening and closing tag is known as a/an _________.

Answer: Element

Tags mark the beginnings and ends of elements. Some tags have attributes, which appear inside opening tags and add further information to tags.
10. Lastly, a bit of history. Who invented HTML?

Answer: Tim Berners-Lee

In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee, a physicist at CERN, created HTML. In 1994 he founded the World Wide Web Consortium, the organization that sets the standards for the World Wide Web. Bill Gates is the co-founder of Microsoft; Steve Jobs is the co-founder of Apple; Mark Zuckerberg is the co-founder of the social networking site Facebook.
