Question 1

Setting the display style to none hides an element but does not remove it from the page flow.

Accepted Answer

Setting the display style to none both hides an element and removes it from the page flow, meaning it will not take up any space in the layout.

Question 2

Web page layouts fall into three general categories: fixed, fluid, and elastic.

Accepted Answer

This is true, web page layouts are generally categorized as fixed, fluid or elastic based on how they react to changes in screen size or resolution.

Question 3

One challenge of layout is that the document will be viewed on many different devices with the same screen resolution.

Accepted Answer

The challenge is that the document will be viewed on many different devices with varying screen resolutions, not the same screen resolution. This requires designs to be responsive and adaptable to different screen sizes and resolutions.

Question 4

Rhythm is the ability to combine different design elements into a cohesive whole. ​

Accepted Answer

Rhythm in design refers to the repetition or alternation of elements to create movement and pattern, not the combination of different elements into a cohesive whole.

Question 5

A value of auto for the overflow property instructs browsers to increase the height of an element to fit the overflow content. ​

Accepted Answer

The value of auto for the overflow property tells the browser to only provide scrollbars when the content overflows the bounds of the container, not to increase the height of the element.

Question 6

To specify a different stacking order for elements, the clip property can be used. ​

Accepted Answer

The clip property is used to specify a rectangular area to display within an element, and does not affect the stacking order. To change the stacking order, the z-index property can be used instead.

Question 7

The position property can be set to depend so that an element inherits the position value of its parent element. ​

Accepted Answer

The position property does not have a value of "depend"; it can be set to static, relative, absolute, fixed, or sticky, but it does not inherit directly in the way described.

Question 8

Fixed layouts should only be used when one has more control over the devices that will display the page.

Accepted Answer

Fixed layouts have a specific width and do not adapt to different screen sizes or devices. This means that they should only be used when the designer or developer has control over the devices that will be used to view the page, such as in an intranet setting or a kiosk. For websites that will be viewed on a variety of devices, it is better to use responsive or adaptive design to ensure that the layout and content adapt to the screen size and orientation.

Question 9

Many designers prefer to work with a "clean state" and not have any browser style rules creep into the final design of their website. ​

Accepted Answer

This is because browser style rules can vary between browsers and can affect the consistency and accuracy of the design. By starting with a clean state, designers have greater control over the visual style and layout of the website.

Question 10

Users find it easier to scan content when page elements are aligned vertically and horizontally.

Accepted Answer

When page elements are aligned vertically and horizontally, users are able to scan and process the content more efficiently. This is because their eyes don't have to jump around the page to find the relevant information. Instead, they can simply move their gaze in a straight line, which makes it easier for them to locate the content they need.

Question 11

New content can be easily placed within a grid in a way that is consistent with previously entered information.

Accepted Answer

Grid systems provide a consistent layout for content, making it easy to add new content in a way that is consistent with existing elements.

Question 12

The display property inherit inherits the display property of a child element.

Accepted Answer

The display property with the value "inherit" makes an element inherit the display property of its parent, not a child element.

Question 13

To place an object with absolute positioning, use either the top/left coordinates or the bottom/right coordinates but not all four coordinates at the same time.

Accepted Answer

When using absolute positioning, you can set the element's position using either the top/left coordinates or the bottom/right coordinates, but not both at the same time. This is because the element is taken out of the normal flow of the document and positioned relative to its containing element. Specifying both top/left and bottom/right coordinates would create conflicting positioning information.

Question 14

Setting up a grid decreases the size and complexity of the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)code by adding another level of markup.

Accepted Answer

Setting up a grid typically simplifies the layout and structure of a webpage, making it easier to manage and maintain the HTML code, rather than increasing its size and complexity. Grid systems provide a framework for organizing content, which can lead to cleaner and more efficient code.

Question 15

Centering an element vertically within its parent element is easily accomplished as the height of the parent element is defined by a value. ​

Accepted Answer

The answer of Centering an element vertically within its parent...

Question 16

Whether an element is displayed as a block or as inline depends on the style sheet.

Accepted Answer

The display property can be manipulated in CSS to control whether an element is displayed as a block, inline, or other type of display. Therefore, it is determined by the style sheet.

Question 17

If a container has been placed with absolute or relative positioning, then any object nested within it can be placed with absolute positioning. ​

Accepted Answer

This is because absolutely positioned elements are positioned with respect to their nearest positioned ancestor container, and if that container is positioned (either absolutely or relatively), then the nested object can also be positioned absolutely within it.

Question 18

A popular design element is the inline-block, which consists of an enlarged initial letter in a body of text that drops down into the text body. ​

Accepted Answer

The design element described is known as a "drop cap," not an inline-block. Inline-block refers to a layout technique where elements are laid out in line with each other but also allow for setting width and height properties.

Question 19

The z-index property works only for elements that are placed with relative positioning. ​

Accepted Answer

The z-index property works not only for elements that are placed with relative positioning, but also for elements that are placed with absolute or fixed positioning.

Question 20

One can prevent browsers from displaying an element by setting its display property to inline.

Accepted Answer

Setting the display property to "none" will prevent browsers from displaying an element. Setting it to "inline" will still display the element normally.
