Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What does HTML stand for?

Answer: Hyper Text Markup Language

HTML was written by Tim Berners-Lee in 1992. Berners-Lee also invented the Web.
2. What tag is used when you want to insert a picture?

Answer: IMG

The IMG tag is one of the few HTML tags that stands alone, as it requires no closing tag with it.
3. What does the A tag stand for?

Answer: ANCHOR

This is the tag that really makes the Internet what it is. The A tag tells the computer to link to another file, such as another website. It creates a web of interlinked documents! Such a little tag, but incredibly powerful!
4. What tag is used when you want to create a name for the page you are creating, so it appears in the title bar of the user's internet browser?

Answer: TITLE

This is a great tag to use on every page you make. It easily defines what is on the page, shows up in search engine results and when someone bookmarks your page, the title will also show up on their list. Thinking of something short, simple and to the point is key.
5. What does the tag "TR" stand for?

Answer: Table Row

As the tag indicates, this creates a row in a table. It is often followed by the TD tag, which stands for Table Data, the content you wish the table to present.
6. When you have a graphic that you would like to use for the backdrop of your page, what tag sequence do you use?

Answer: BODY BACKGROUND

The rule of thumb is to use a light background with dark lettering. Of course rules are meant to be broken sometimes! But be careful, some backgrounds make it very difficult for your readers to enjoy your site.
7. How many alphanumerical characters are in a hex color code?

Answer: 6

The first two characters stand for how much red is found in the color, the next two characters represent how much green is in the color, and the last two are for how much blue is in the color.
8. What tag is used when you want to create a horizontal divider across your page?

Answer: HR

HR stands for "horizontal rule". You can also determine the size and color of this rule. This is a very handy tag for cleanly dividing different sections of your page.
9. What tag is used to center text on a page?

Answer: CENTER

In my opinion, this tag should be used sparingly, as it can make things look very unprofessional.
10. What tag do you use if you want text to pop up when the browser hovers his/her mouse over a graphic on your page in Internet Explorer?

Answer: ALT

This tag is very handy for the user in the case they have chosen for images not to display on their internet browser. It is also useful for the random times when the internet browser chooses not to display the picture for one reason or another!
