Mid-term exam

You will be allowed to use all materials (open book, open Internet). However, use of communication software (including websites like Facebook) is strictly forbidden. Offenders will get an F.

Subjects that will be tested
  • Be able to find information in the Firefox Codeburner/SitePoint HTML and CSS reference
  • Understanding of principles underlying web formats (HTML, XHTML and CSS) including some of the history
  • Be able to create simple HTML code and detect errors
    • DocType declarations (superficially, e.g. understand the difference between the strict and transitional HTML4x/XHTML1x models)
    • Required tags: html,body,title,link,style,a,img,h1,h2,h2,p,blockquote,ul,ol,li,div,span
    • Required attributes: style + the elementary attributes of the HTML a, img and link tags + class + id
    • Notice: I may design an exam question that asks you to find the definition of another HTML tag or attribute.
  • Simple CSS styling
    • Basic selectors (tag names)
    • Class and ID selectors (.xxx and .#xxx)

E.g. you should know that RBG combines amount of three colors, that HSL is a color on the "360 color wheel" plus saturation and light. E.g. you should know that alpha means transparency.
