Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many heading tags are in HTML?

Answer: 6

The 6 heading tags decrease in each subsequent heading tag. H1 is the biggest of them all, H2 is smaller than H1, H3 is smaller than H2, and so on.

2. Which HTML tag hyperlinks text?

Answer: A

The A tag, or the anchor tag, hyperlinks texts by including links in the form of URLs (www.youtube.com) and HTML files (home.html). When you click on a hyperlinked word or phrase, it directs you to an internal or external site.

3. Which hexadecimal combination displays the color red?

Answer: #FF0000

The format for hexadecimal color is #RRGGBB. The color red has 255 (FF in hexidecimal) red pixels and no green or blue pixels.

4. Which HTML attribute points to images, audio files, and video clips?

Answer: src

The src attribute is short for the source attribute.

5. Which of these lines usually appears italicized: B Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (closed with /B) EM How I Wonder What You Are (closed with /EM) Q Up Above the World So High (closed with /Q) U Like a Diamond in the Sky (closed with /U)

Answer: How I Wonder What You Are

The EM tag emphasizes text. Almost all browsers render that as italics, in which the letters appear slanted.

6. You have an ordered lists of months of the year. If you set the start="5" attribute, which item would be numbered 14?

Answer: October

If start=5, then the list starts with 5. In this case:

5. January
6. February
7. March
8. April
9. May
10. June
11. July
12. August
13. September
14. October
15. November
16. December

7. What character does an ampersand followed by gt and a semicolon represent?

Answer: >

The character entity "gt" means greater than. Character entities are enclosed between an ampersand (&) and a semicolon and are used to display special characters that would interfere with HTML syntax.

8. In a group of radio buttons, multiple items can be selected.

Answer: False

You can only select one item per group of radio buttons. Selecting another item after selecting one item will select that item and deselect the previous item selected.

9. Which of the following content would typically be entered in the form element created by a TEXTAREA tag?

Answer: a restaurant review

A TEXTAREA tag creates a multi-line text box. It is long enough for you to write a restaurant review in terms of how good the food is, the cleanliness of the place, and how friendly the wait staff is.

Documents are not entered in forms but rather uploaded from local files.

10. The SCRIPT tag enables you to enhance a web page with code written in which programming language?

Answer: JavaScript

JavaScript is a programming language that influences the behavior of a webpage. The opening and closing SCRIPT tags can hold the contents of a JavaScript program. It can also contain a separate JavaScript file and can execute without any code between the SCRIPT tags.
