Question 1

Case 8-2
Leon has developed several data tables and he knows that the data is correct.He would like to add some formatting to enhance the presentation on his Web page.He asks Maxwell for some guidance.
-Leon is trying to place the table caption below the table,but it is not working.Which of the following statements is the correct one that Maxwell makes to Leon?
A) The property for displaying captions below the table is deprecated.
B) Leon is using the caption-side property to do this,but he should be using the caption-below property.
C) It is not possible to display captions below the table.
D) Older Web browsers such as Internet Explorer 7 and earlier may not display a caption that is positioned below the table.

Accepted Answer

Older Web browsers such as Internet Explorer 7 and earlier may not display a caption that is positioned below the table.

Question 2

If the first four columns in a table with five columns are to be formatted,then you should ____.
A) enter a column element for each column
B) enter span="4" and delete the column element for each column to be spanned
C) enter span="5" and delete the column element for the first four columns
D) either a or b

Accepted Answer

To format the first four columns in a table with five columns, you can either enter a column element for each of the four columns (choice A) or use the span attribute with a value of "4" on a single column element and delete the column elements for the columns to be spanned (choice B). Both approaches are valid, hence D (either A or B) is correct.

Question 3

The ____ attribute can be used to apply the same class to more than one column.
A) extend
B) float
C) combine
D) span

Accepted Answer

The span attribute is used to specify how many columns a cell should span. For example, if we want a cell to span two columns, we can use the attribute colspan="2". This can also be used to apply the same class to multiple columns by setting the colspan attribute to the number of columns we want to apply the class to.

Question 4

The column element used to format columns is represented in the code by the ____ tag(s). A) B) C) D)

Accepted Answer

The tag is a self-closing tag, which means it does not require a closing tag, hence the correct syntax for using the tag is .

Question 5

Which of the following table styles has the highest precedence?
A) table data element
B) table element
C) table header element
D) both a and c have the same precedence

Accepted Answer

In CSS, specificity determines which styles are applied when there is a conflict. The specificity of selectors for table data elements (td) and table header elements (th) is the same, meaning they have equal precedence when styling conflicts occur. The table element (table) has a lower specificity compared to individual cell styles.

Question 6

Case 8-1 James created a table of his school soccer team schedule that will be placed on the team's Web page.The table contains four columns: Opponent,Home/Away,Date,and Start Time.The table will contain 10 rows.James has some problems with formatting the table and asks Kyra to help him resolve them. -James also wants to highlight rows with team home games,and Kyra gives him several options.Which option is correct? A) Within the tags for each home game row,include the attribute bgcolor="yellow". B) Create a class that contains the statement background-color: yellow;and apply this class to all odd rows,placing home games there. C) Create a class that contains the statement background-color: yellow;and apply this class to home game rows. D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

Option C is the best choice because it creates a class specifically for home game rows and applies the yellow background color only to those rows. This ensures that only the desired rows are highlighted and avoids potentially inconsistent or confusing formatting if the yellow color is applied to all odd rows or all home game rows using other methods (as in options B and A, respectively).

Question 7

Which of the following can call more attention to an individual row?
A) using background color
B) using the :hover pseudo-class
C) using text color
D) using text font

Accepted Answer

Using the :hover pseudo-class allows for the individual row to highlight when the mouse is hovering over it, making it stand out to the user. While background color, text color, and text font can also draw attention to a row, they may not be as noticeable or as subtle as the hover effect.

Question 8

Case 8-2 Leon has developed several data tables and he knows that the data is correct.He would like to add some formatting to enhance the presentation on his Web page.He asks Maxwell for some guidance. -If a column is to span three columns,then which of the following lines of code can Maxwell advise Leon to use to format that column? A) B) C) D)

Accepted Answer

The correct HTML code to format a column to span three columns is ``. The `span` attribute specifies the number of columns a `` element should span.

Question 9

It is important to test a ____ effect in several contemporary browsers to confirm it works as intended.
A) title
B) background
C) caption
D) hover

Accepted Answer

The hover effect is a commonly used feature on websites, and it is important to test it in multiple contemporary browsers to ensure that it functions correctly for all users. The title, background, and caption effects may also require testing; however, the hover effect is more widely used and therefore a more critical feature to test.

Question 10

To format columns,you can create a(n)____ class and then apply the class to the <col /> tag to format the columns you want.
A) dependent
B) independent
C) parent
D) inherited

Accepted Answer

The independent class allows you to create a style that can be applied to one or more columns without affecting the other columns or elements on the page. The dependent and parent classes are not commonly used for column formatting, and the inherited class is used to inherit styles from a parent element.

Question 11

Case 8-1 James created a table of his school soccer team schedule that will be placed on the team's Web page.The table contains four columns: Opponent,Home/Away,Date,and Start Time.The table will contain 10 rows.James has some problems with formatting the table and asks Kyra to help him resolve them. -There are three consecutive home games (rows 2-4)where the game starting time is the same.Kyra tells James that there is a way to combine cells with the same value.Which of the following is the correct one? A) For the column "Start Time" of the second row,include colspan="3" within the tag. B) For the column "Start Time" of the second row,include rowspan="3" within the tag. C) For the column "Start Time" of the second,third,and fourth rows,include the same starting time within the tags. D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

To combine cells vertically in an HTML table, the attribute `rowspan` is used. Since there are three consecutive home games with the same starting time, using `rowspan="3"` in the "Start Time" column of the second row will merge these three cells into one. This is the correct way to display the same starting time for consecutive games without repeating the time in separate cells.

Question 12

Which of the following table styles has the lowest precedence?
A) table data element
B) table element
C) table head element
D) table row element

Accepted Answer

The table element style has the lowest precedence among the options given because CSS specificity rules prioritize more specific selectors. Among the choices, the table element is the most general, affecting the entire table, whereas the other options target more specific parts of the table, such as data cells, header cells, or rows.

Question 14

Case 8-1
James created a table of his school soccer team schedule that will be placed on the team's Web page.The table contains four columns: Opponent,Home/Away,Date,and Start Time.The table will contain 10 rows.James has some problems with formatting the table and asks Kyra to help him resolve them.
-There are eight regular games and two play-off tournament games,and there are data only for the first eight games.James wants to leave the last two rows empty with gridlines drawn around all empty cells.He asks Kyra which of the following properties and their values will style this correctly.What is her answer?
A) empty: show;
B) empty-cells: on;
C) empty-cells: show;
D) empty-cells: hide;

Accepted Answer

The correct CSS property to ensure that empty cells in a table have borders or gridlines shown is `empty-cells: show;`. This makes sure that even if a cell has no content, its borders will still be displayed, which is what James wants for the last two rows of his table.

Question 15

Case 8-2
Leon has developed several data tables and he knows that the data is correct.He would like to add some formatting to enhance the presentation on his Web page.He asks Maxwell for some guidance.
-Leon tried to specify border widths,but he is seeing different interpretations of them in each browser.Maxwell tells him to use which of the following to keep this from happening in the future?
A) the thin keyword
B) the medium keyword
C) pixel values
D) the thick keyword

Accepted Answer

Using pixel values for border widths is the best choice as it will result in consistent display across all browsers. The other options (thin, medium, thick keywords) may be interpreted differently by different browsers, leading to inconsistency in the display.

Question 19

Case 8-2 Leon has developed several data tables and he knows that the data is correct.He would like to add some formatting to enhance the presentation on his Web page.He asks Maxwell for some guidance. -All of Leon's tables are displaying properly,except the last one,which is not structured as he intended.He asks Maxwell which of the following is most likely the problem.How does Maxwell respond? A) The code is missing a closing tag. B) Leon included table data within tags instead of tags. C) Leon included table data within tags instead of tags. D) any of the above

Accepted Answer

The most likely problem is that the code is missing a closing tag. This would cause the last row of the table to not display properly. Option B is incorrect since table data should be within tags, not tags. Option C is incorrect since tags are used for table headers, not table rows.

Question 20

Case 8-2
Leon has developed several data tables and he knows that the data is correct.He would like to add some formatting to enhance the presentation on his Web page.He asks Maxwell for some guidance.
-Leon is trying to add a caption,but he wants to display it as 12pt Arial font and he is not having any luck.He asks Maxwell why this is happening.How does Maxwell respond?
A) The caption accepts only preformatted fonts.
B) The caption is part of the table,and the style of the table is not 12pt Arial font.
C) Leon is using the deprecated <caption> tag.
D) any of the above

Accepted Answer

The style of the caption is determined by the style of the table it belongs to. Therefore, if the table is not set to have a 12pt Arial font, the caption will not display in that font. It is important to adjust the table's style to achieve the desired caption formatting.
