B Correct answer
Explanation

The window.open() method opens a new browser window. It takes the URL as the first argument and the window name as the second. Option B correctly shows this syntax: window.open('url', 'windowname'). Options A, C, and D use incorrect methods or syntax that don't exist in JavaScript.

Multiple choice javascript

A Correct answer
Explanation

The browser's status bar can be accessed via window.status property. Option A correctly assigns a string to window.status. Option B uses an undefined 'statusbar' variable. Option C calls a non-existent status() function. Option D incorrectly treats status as a function rather than a property.

Multiple choice javascript

Which property would you use to redirect visitor to another page?

  1. window.location.href

  2. document.href

  3. java.redirect.url

A Correct answer
Explanation

To redirect a visitor to another page using JavaScript, you can use the window.location.href property. This property sets or returns the entire URL of the current page, including the protocol, host name, path, and the file name of the current page. By assigning a new URL to this property, you can redirect the user to a new page.

Option A is correct: window.location.href

Option B is incorrect because there's no document.href property.

Option C is incorrect because there's no java.redirect.url property.

Option D is incorrect because there's no link.redirect.href property.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: A

  4. this ensures OS compatibility
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer

Which of the following is true of XHTML?

  1. It is a new hybrid technology that is different from both XML and HTML.

  2. You can't use it to create Web pages.

  3. It is a reformulation of HTML in XML.

  4. It has totally replaced HTML as the tool for building Web pages.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

To solve this question, the user needs to have a basic understanding of web development and markup languages.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. It is a new hybrid technology that is different from both XML and HTML. - This option is incorrect. XHTML stands for "Extensible Hypertext Markup Language", and it is a markup language that is based on XML. XHTML combines the syntax of HTML with the strictness of XML.

B. You can't use it to create Web pages. - This option is incorrect. XHTML is used to create web pages just like HTML.

C. It is a reformulation of HTML in XML. - This option is correct. XHTML is a reformulation of HTML in XML, which makes it easier for web developers to create valid and well-formed web pages.

D. It has totally replaced HTML as the tool for building Web pages. - This option is incorrect. Although XHTML has some advantages over HTML, it has not completely replaced it. HTML is still widely used for building web pages.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The answer is: C

Multiple choice web-design

Using inline styles on a page with multiple overlapping styles is being referred to as:

  1. DHTML

  2. SGML

  3. CSS

  4. XHTML
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the technology for handling multiple overlapping styles through specificity, inheritance, and cascade rules. Inline styles are part of CSS. While the question's phrasing is awkward (it should say 'inline styles are part of'), CSS is clearly the intended answer over DHTML, SGML, or XHTML.

Multiple choice web-design

The ISINDEX tag (a deprecated HTML element for simple search queries) used the PROMPT attribute to override the default prompt text that appeared before the input field. There is no ASK or MESSAGE attribute in the HTML specification for ISINDEX, and it was possible to customize the prompt.

Multiple choice web-design

When you are hyperlinking to a page WITHIN your website, it is better to use which linking style?

  1. Absolute URL (http://www.site.com/directory/page.htm)

  2. Relative URL (../directory/page.htm)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Relative URLs are preferred for internal linking because they make the website portable. If the domain name changes or the site is moved to a different directory level, the links remain functional. Absolute URLs are rigid and harder to maintain for internal site structures.
