PLEASE WRITE THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS IN YOUR OWN WORDS:
14) What HTML tag should contain the following attributes ALT, HEIGHT & WIDTH.
Answer:
The image or graphic HTML tag or Image Source, i.e.
<IMG SRC="graphic.gif"
HEIGHT=20 WIDTH=80 ALT="Name of Graphic or Description of"> uses the above attributes.
15) In your own words, describe what an attribute is.
Answer:
An attribute is a tag that describes the way your text will look on a browser when
it is loaded on. Examples of these tags are: bold, italic, different heading
sizes, blinking, marquees, (the last two depending upon which browser is being used),
centering, aligning right or left, etc.
16) Based on what you read in the lessons and on the web, do you think it is a good idea to USE a Cascading Style Sheet when designing your web pages?
Answer:
Personally, I like the way a cascading Style Sheet looks. It really makes
a line stand out, especially if you are trying to emphasize a phrase! However,
because not all browsers use this yet, it is best to not use it until all browsers
utilize this feature more than at present time. Your effects may turn out quite differently
to most browsers!
17) What is a "browserism"?
Answer:
Browserisms are browser specific tags,
created by it's specific browser, such as <BLINK> or <MARQUEE>.
The <BLINK> tag will only be seen in Netscape Navigator while the
<MARQUEE> tag will only work in Internet Explorer.
18) Describe for what purpose you might use a "thumbnail" graphic on your web page.
Answer:
A "thumbnail" photo or graphic might be used to speed up downloading time into your
browser if the photo or graphic is
quite large. Another reason might be if many graphics are being used, such as
a graphic display for various graphics. Rather than using the larger versions,
a thumbnail can be used which is a much smaller file and will speed up the page
loading time. Then when you click on the "thumbnail", you can get the full version
view of the graphic.
19) Give an example of WHY you might use a HTML list on your web page.
Answer:
An example of why I would use a HTML list on my web page is if I am listing
a whole bunch of URL's for related web pages, to make it neat and tidy and readable,
I would use a list and have each on it's own line. Another example would be
if I were doing an outline of a project! Or just simply to make a list of items!
20) What three tag sets would you need to set up the most basic table in HTML?
Answer:
The basic table would use the following tag sets:
21) What are the TWO types of file format for images which can be safely used on a web page at this time?
Answer:
The two types of file formats for images safely used on a web
page is the "gif" and the "jpg" formats.
22) Is it legal to use an image from someone else's web page without their permission?
Answer:
This is a good question! Without knowing if a image is copyrighted or not, it is
best NOT to use someone else's image without first asking their permission!
23) Would you use a 150k image on your web page? If not, why not?
Answer:
I personally would not use a 150k graphic as this is a large file
and would take a long time to load on your page. Someone
might get very impatient waiting for it to download and just
leave and not even see your page! If a file is that large,
I would make a thumbnail of the graphic and then if they
wanted to see the original, let them click on the
thumbnail of this graphic.
24) Give an example of the HTML code that you would use to link two pages together.
Answer:
Example: <A HREF="otherpage.html">For Other Page</A>
(Use this if the link is in the same directory as your main page)
Example: <A HREF="http://www.otherpage.com">For Other Site</A>
(Use this if the link is on another site!)
25) Would using the <EMBED> tag to put music on your web page allow all visitors to hear the sound? If not, why not?
Answer:
Using this tag to put music on your web page would not allow all visitors to
hear the sound as Internet Explorer does not recognise this tag, unless it
is able to load Netscape's Plug-Ins.
26) How would you make your email address a clickable link on your web page?
Answer:
To make a clickable e-mail address, it would be formatted as follows:
<A HREF="MAILTO:gszyman@triton.net">e-mail Gloria here</A>
This would show up as e-mail Gloria here.
