Internet and Web Questions

Multiple choice technology web technology
  1. Faster

  2. Slower

  3. The execution speed is similar

  4. All of above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Scripts run slower than compiled programs because they are interpreted line-by-line at runtime, while compiled programs are already converted to machine code. The interpreter adds overhead for parsing and translating each instruction before execution.

Multiple choice technology web technology
  1. #contents=0

  2. #contents=1

  3. ?contents=1

  4. ?contents=0

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Adding ?contents=1 to a SharePoint page URL displays the page in a special diagnostic view that reveals all web parts. This mode shows web part zones, boundaries, and properties to help with debugging and page layout. The question mark (?) indicates it's a query string parameter, not a hash fragment (#) which points to page anchors.

Multiple choice technology platforms and products
  1. List SMTP of users

  2. List all emails with specified details

  3. List all sent emails for users

  4. All are above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Journal search in enterprise email systems is used to list all emails with specified details for compliance and auditing purposes. It does not list SMTP addresses or sent emails specifically, and 'All are above' is incorrect.

Multiple choice technology programming languages
  1. retain only the last page visited in the browser's history

  2. eliminate any flash caused by navigation

  3. Doesn't work with sites protected with SSL

  4. persist scroll position when moving from page to page

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

SmartNavigation was an ASP.NET 1.x feature that reduced page flash, persisted scroll position, and maintained focus. However, it had known limitations and did NOT work properly over SSL (HTTPS) connections due to how it handled page navigation. This is a documented limitation of the feature. The other options describe things SmartNavigation DID do (persist scroll position, eliminate flash), so they're incorrect as 'not true' statements. The answer correctly identifies the SSL limitation.

Multiple choice technology programming languages

  2. eliminate any flash caused by navigation

  3. Doesn't work with sites protected with SSL

  4. persist scroll position when moving from page to page

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

SmartNavigation was an early ASP.NET feature (Internet Explorer 5.5+) that improved user experience by maintaining scroll position and element focus between postbacks. It had known compatibility issues with SSL-protected sites due to its reliance on specific browser behaviors that conflicted with secure connection handling. The feature persisted scroll position (D is false) and eliminated page flash (B is false).

Multiple choice technology mainframe
  1. ASKTIME

  2. TIME

  3. CONVERTTIME

  4. FORMATTIME

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

CONVERTTIME is a CICS command that analyzes three common Internet date/time timestamp formats and converts them to ABSTIME (absolute time) format. This is useful for standardizing different timestamp representations into a single internal format for processing.

Multiple choice technology usability
  1. Alphabetical, when names of items are not known to users

  2. Frequency of use by typical users

  3. Importance

  4. Alphabetical, when names of items are known to users

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Alphabetical sequencing is ineffective when users do not know the names of the items, making this option the correct exception. Frequency, importance, and alphabetical sorting when names are known are all valid ways to sequence web page content.

Multiple choice technology usability
  1. True

  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Usability research demonstrates that users rarely utilize breadcrumb navigation spontaneously on websites, preferring standard global menus or the browser's back button. Even after users are explicitly trained or taught how breadcrumbs function, their spontaneous usage rates remain low, making the stated text true.

  2. Service as a Service

  3. Software as a Service

  4. Search as a Service

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself

Multiple choice technology web technology
  1. Microsoft Search Server (MSS)

  2. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS)

  3. Windows SharePoint Services (WSS)

  4. Microsoft Bing Services

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) is correct as it was the free add-on version providing basic portal functionality for Windows Server 2003 and 2008. MSS and MOSS were paid enterprise editions, while Bing Services is unrelated to SharePoint.

Multiple choice technology testing
  1. External Url

  2. Internal Url

  3. Both of the Above

  4. None of the Above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The Change Password Link is required in the External URL because this is what external users/customers access to manage their accounts. Internal URLs are for system administrators and don't require the same self-service password change functionality. The external-facing portal must provide this link for users to reset their own passwords for security and account management purposes. The system design places this requirement on the external interface, not internal tools.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
