Wednesday - Mid term exam

The final exam will take place on Wednesday week 8

  • The exam is open book and open Internet
  • Topics: Everything that was part of homework one, two and three (including underlying HTML)

HTML

  • External, internal and inline CSS style
  • Tags:
    • div and span
    • h1, h2, h3, h4
    • p, blockquote, pre
    • ol, ul, il
  • HTML declarations on top
  • HTML validation
  • Character set declaration

CSS

  • CSS validation
  • CSS comments
  • Selectors, in particular simple ones (tag names), siblings, children, class and id
  • Every property that was part of homework 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 (homework 4 and 8 will not be tested, homework 7 only partially, i.e. positioning and floating). In addition there will be a single question that will test whether you can find new information.
  • Floats (i.e. you should be able to create a floating box within a text box, or a simple fluid layout)
  • CSS positioning (top, left, right, bottom and position). You should be able to position elements with respect to a container element or the page.
  • CSS values: length, colors, percentages and keywords used with these properties
  • Understand some simple cascading principles: E.g. that usually "last found" will win, and "inline" before "embedded style" or loaded style sheet.


Recommended reading (textbook chapters)

  • Chapters 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,11. Parts of 13,14,15 (scan the text quickly and only read sections about topics that you need and don't understand)
