HTML MCQ Questions

The vlink attribute means visited link, controlling the color of links that users have already clicked. It is a deprecated body attribute now replaced by CSS :visited pseudo-class.

The correct term is deprecated for HTML elements no longer part of standard usage. Deprecated elements may still work for backward compatibility but are marked for potential removal in future versions. Developers should avoid deprecated elements and use modern alternatives recommended in current HTML specifications.

Inline elements group words or characters without creating line breaks, flowing naturally with surrounding text. Examples include span, a, strong, em, and code. Unlike block elements that start on new lines, inline elements maintain text flow, making them ideal for styling or marking up specific text portions.

The br tag is the correct tag for an HTML line break, forcing text to continue on the next line. It is a self-closing element that does not require closing tags. Break elements create single line breaks without the spacing of paragraph tags.

The index input type is not a new form control in HTML5. HTML5 added new input types including color for color picker, email for email validation, and url for URL validation. The index type does not exist in HTML5 specifications and is not a valid input type.

The default text color in HTML pages is black. Browsers apply this default unless overridden by CSS or deprecated HTML color attributes.

Defining clickable sub-areas on an image is called imagemapping. Image maps use <map> and <area> tags to create multiple clickable regions within a single image. Each area can link to different destinations, enabling complex navigation through a single image with defined hotspots for different actions.

This is an Absolute URL because it contains the complete web address including protocol (http://), domain name (www.site.com), and file path (page.html). Absolute URLs work from anywhere on the internet as they specify the full path. Relative URLs, in contrast, are based on the current page's location.

The 'size' attribute is not valid for <img> tags. Valid image attributes include src (source path), alt (alternative text), width, and height. Size isn't used because images have two dimensions requiring separate width and height specifications for proper proportions.

By default, an unvisited HTML link is displayed as underlined and blue. This default styling helps users identify clickable links on web pages. Visited links typically appear purple, and active links appear red, though these colors can be customized using CSS pseudo-classes like :link, :visited, and :active.

Use object tag with type attribute set to application/pdf, data attribute set to filename.pdf, and width and height attributes to display PDFs in browsers. The object element with proper MIME type and data attribute embeds PDF files. Width and height attributes control the display size of the embedded PDF viewer.

Use <li> and </li> tags to separate individual list items within ordered or unordered lists. Each <li> element represents one distinct item in the list. The browser automatically adds appropriate markers (bullets or numbers) before each list item based on the parent list type.

The square value is NOT valid for the shape attribute in image maps. Valid values include rect for rectangle, circle, and poly for polygon. The shape attribute defines the geometric type of clickable areas in image maps with each shape requiring different coordinate specifications.

The start tag is opening, end tag is closing, and element content is info. This is proper HTML terminology.

The example <TR> <TH>This is a Table Row</TH> </TR> correctly shows an HTML table row. The <tr> tag defines the row container, while <th> creates a header cell within that row. Table rows hold the horizontal arrangement of cells that make up the table structure.

The nocache value is NOT valid for robots meta content. Valid values include noydir for no Yahoo Directory, nofollow for do not follow links, and noodp for no Open Directory Project. Robots meta tags control how search engines index and follow page content.

The span tag is used to group inline elements in a document for styling or scripting purposes. It does not create line breaks and flows with surrounding text.

FALSE - Based on best practices, it's better to set font attributes in CSS rather than directly in HTML. Separating presentation (CSS) from structure (HTML) improves maintainability, reusability, and makes global styling changes easier. CSS provides more powerful and flexible styling options than inline HTML attributes.

Use the <ol> (ordered list) tag to create a list with numbered items. Each <li> element within the <ol> gets automatically numbered sequentially by the browser. Ordered lists are ideal when item sequence matters, like instructions, rankings, or step-by-step procedures.

DIV is a block-level element that starts on a new line and takes full width available, while SPAN is an inline element that flows with text. DIV is used for larger content sections and layout structure, whereas SPAN is for styling small portions of text. This fundamental difference affects how content is displayed and positioned.

Favicons are defined in the link element within the head section using rel equals icon or rel equals shortcut icon. The href attribute points to the favicon image file (typically .ico, .png, or .svg). Favicons appear in browser tabs, bookmarks, and address bars, reinforcing brand identity.

An HTML image-map is an image with clickable areas, where different regions link to different destinations. Created using map and area tags, image maps define coordinates for hotspots within a single image. This allows complex navigation through one image with multiple interactive regions for different actions.

The content of a web page is contained in the body section which holds all visible elements like text, images, and links. Everything users see and interact with must be placed within body tags. The head section contains metadata while body contains actual page content.

A URL specifies precise file locations on the web. It includes protocol, domain, and path components.

The correct syntax is img tag with src attribute set to image.jpg with self-closing format. The src attribute specifies the image source location which is required for img elements. Images are void elements that do not have closing tags or content between opening and closing tags.

HTML forms are used to display questions and boxes for entering answers or input. Forms collect user data through various input elements.

TRUE - A <div> defines a section in a document and is a block-level element. It starts on a new line and takes up the full width available. DIVs are used to group and structure content for styling with CSS or manipulation with JavaScript.

A hexadecimal color code looks like #990000, starting with a hash symbol followed by six characters. The six digits represent RGB values in hexadecimal format (00-FF for each color channel). This compact notation is widely used in web design for specifying precise colors.

Use option tag with value attribute and selected attribute to make it the default selected value in a dropdown. The selected boolean attribute without value marks the option as pre-selected when the page loads. This sets the initial state of select elements for default choices.

The text-transform: property is used to change the case of text in CSS. Values include uppercase (ALL CAPS), lowercase (all lowercase), capitalize (First Letter Uppercase), and none. This property transforms text presentation without changing the actual HTML content, useful for consistent styling and branding.

The legend element configures labels for fieldset elements. It provides captions for grouped form controls.

A frameset is a file that specifies how the screen is divided into frames. It uses the <frameset> element (now deprecated) to define the layout of multiple frames. Framesets divided browser windows into multiple independent sections, though modern layouts use CSS instead.

Use form tag with action attribute set to MAILTO:email address, method set to POST, and enctype set to text/plain to submit forms via email. The MAILTO protocol in action opens email clients with form data. However, this method is unreliable and rarely used as server-side processing is preferred for form submissions.

The color attribute is not valid for the img tag. Valid attributes include src (image source - required), alt (alternative text), width, height, and onerror (error handling). Color adjustments for images are done through CSS filters or image editing software, not HTML attributes.

The correct HTML5 doctype declaration is '<!DOCTYPE html>' - simple and case-insensitive. This declaration must be placed at the very beginning of an HTML document before the <html> tag. It tells the browser to render the page in standards mode using HTML5 specifications.

The <UL> (unordered list) tag creates a list with bullets by default. Each <li> item within the <ul> gets a bullet point marker automatically. The bullet style can be customized using CSS list-style-type property to circles, squares, or custom markers.

The col element is equivalent to display: table-column in CSS. It defines column properties for HTML tables.

The src attribute is used to add an image source to img tags. It specifies the file path or URL of the image to display.

The preferred way is using inline CSS with the style attribute: <body style="background-color:yellow;">. This method follows modern web standards by separating presentation from structure. While inline styles work, external CSS stylesheets are even better for maintainability and reusability.

The 'action' attribute controls where form input values are sent when submitted. It specifies the URL of the server-side script or endpoint that will process the form data. If omitted, the form submits to the current page URL by default.

The target value _son is NOT a predefined target for links. Valid predefined targets include _blank (new window), _self (same frame), _parent (parent frame), and _top (full window). These special keywords control where linked documents open in relation to frames and browsing contexts.

All of these including headings, paragraphs, and lists are common elements that describe web page content. They structure and organize information for users.

The href attribute must be set to mailto:user@company.com to open the client's email application. The mailto: protocol tells the browser to handle this as an email action, launching the default email client with the specified address pre-filled. Additional parameters can specify subject, CC, and body text.

By default, each web page opens in the main browser window unless target attribute specifies otherwise. New pages replace current content in the same window.

A stacked layout arranges labels to the left of fields like paper forms. This mimics traditional form design.

The default file extensions for HTML documents are .html and .htm. Both extensions work identically in modern systems, though .html is more commonly used today. The .htm extension originated from older systems that only supported 3-character file extensions.

All of these are valid doctypes: SVG 1.1 Tiny, MathML 2.0, and XHTML 1.0 Strict. Doctypes declare the document type and version, ensuring browsers render pages correctly. Different doctypes exist for various markup languages and versions, each triggering appropriate rendering modes and validation rules.

Using an HTML select list ensures accurate values through predefined options. Dropdown lists limit input to valid choices.

The action attribute determines where HTML form data is sent when submitted. It specifies the URL of the server-side script or endpoint that processes the form data. If omitted, the form submits to the current page URL by default, which is rarely the desired behavior.

TRUE because the a href tag specifies an anchor element with its hyperlink reference. The href attribute contains the destination URL while the anchor element creates clickable links. This is the fundamental syntax for creating hyperlinks that navigate between pages or sections.
