B) A text box is created using an input element with type="box".
C) A select list is created using select and input elements.
D) A scrolling text box is created using a textarea element.

Accepted Answer

To create a scrolling text box, we use a textarea element, and not an input element with type="textarea" or type="box". The select list is created using only select elements, and not input elements with select. Therefore, the true statement is that a scrolling text box is created using a textarea element.

Question 2

Select the form control below that would be most appropriate to accept free-form comments about your website.
A) select list
B) text box

Question 4

Choose the HTML tag below that would configure a scrolling text box with the name "feedback", 3 rows, and 60 characters.

Accepted Answer

The <textarea> tag is used for creating a multi-line text input area. The "name" attribute assigns a name to the input field, and the "rows" attribute sets the number of visible text lines. The "cols" attribute sets the number of visible characters per line. Therefore, option C is the correct choice since it matches the given requirements.

A) check box
B) radio button
C) text box
D) scrolling text box

Accepted Answer

A check box allows users to select multiple options, which fits the scenario where visitors may use more than one operating system. Radio buttons, on the other hand, only allow users to select one option. Text boxes and scrolling text boxes are not appropriate for selecting pre-defined options.

Question 8

Use the _____ attribute on the form element to specify the name and location of the script that will process the form control values.
A) action
B) process
C) method

Accepted Answer

The "action" attribute is used to specify the URL of the script that will process the form data when the form is submitted. The script can be written in any server-side scripting language such as PHP, ASP.NET, or Python, and it will receive the form data as input parameters that can be processed and saved to a database or sent via email. Therefore, the "action" attribute is essential for the proper functioning of a web form.

B) Common Gateway Interface
C) JavaScript
D) MIME

Accepted Answer

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) allows web pages to communicate with the server and make requests for special processing, such as database queries or sending emails. It is a standard method for web pages to interact with the server-side programs. Fieldset is a HTML tag used for grouping form elements, while JavaScript is a scripting language used for client-side interaction, and MIME is a standard for specifying the types of data transmitted over the internet.

Question 14

Accepted Answer

The correct syntax to configure a textbox named "email" that is 40 characters wide is to use the "size" attribute within the input tag and define its value as "40". Additionally, it is also important to use the "name" attribute to identify the textbox when submitting the form data. Therefore, option B is the correct choice as it includes both attributes in the correct format.

A) check box
B) radio button
C) text box
D) select list

Accepted Answer

A select list allows for a dropdown menu, which takes up minimal space but still allows for a range of options to be selected.
