What is an Image Map
Image map lets you link to many different web pages using a single image. You can define shapes in images that you want to make part of an image mapping.
What are Style Sheets
Style sheets enable you to build consistent, transportable, and well-defined style templates. These templates can be linked to several different web pages, making it easy to maintain and change the look and feel of all the web pages within site.
Do <th> tags always need to come at the start of a row or column?
Any <tr> tag can be changed to a <th> tag. This causes the text contained within the <th> tag to be displayed as bold in the browser. Although <th> tags are mainly used for headings, they do not need to be used exclusively for headings.
What happens if the list-style-type property is used on a non-list element like a paragraph?
If the list-style-type property is used on a non-list element like a paragraph, the property will be ignored and do not affect the paragraph.
What is HTML Declaration
All HTML documents must start with a <!DOCTYPE> declaration.
How do you insert a copyright symbol on a browser page?

How do you create multicolored text in a webpage?

What is the relationship between the border and rule attributes?
Default cell borders, with a thickness of 1 pixel, are automatically added between cells if the border attribute is set to a nonzero value. Likewise, If the border attribute is not included, a default 1-pixel border appears if the rules attribute is added to the <table> tag.
How do you make a picture into a background image of a web page?
To do this, place a tag code after the </head> tag as follows:
<body background = “image.gif”>
Replace image.gif with the name of your image file. This will take the picture and make it the background image of your web page.
What is hypertext link
A hypertext link is a special tag that links one page to another page or resource. If you click the link, the browser jumps to the link's destination.
How do you create links to sections within the same page?
Links can be created using the <a> tag, with referencing through the use of the number (#) symbol. For example, you can have one line as <a href=”#topmost”>BACK TO TOP</a>, which would result in the words “BACK TO TOP” appearing on the webpage and links to a bookmark named topmost. You then create a separate tag command like <a name=”topmost”> somewhere on the top of the same webpage so that the user will be linked to that spot when he clicked on “BACK TO TOP”.
How do you create a link that will connect to another web page when clicked?
To create hyperlinks, or links that connect to another web page, use the href tag. The general format for this is: <a href=”site”>text</a>
Replace “site” with the actual page URL that is supposed to be linked to when the text is clicked.
How do you create text on a webpage that will allow you to send an email when clicked?
To change text into a clickable link to send email, use the mailto command within the href tag. The format is as follows:
<A HREF=”mailto:youremailaddress”>text to be clicked</A>
When is it appropriate to use frames?
Frames can make navigating a site much easier. If the main links to the site are located in a frame that appears at the top or along the edge of the browser, the content for those links can be displayed in the remainder of the browser window.

Does a hyperlink apply to text only?
No, hyperlinks can be used in the text as well as images. That means you can convert an image into a link that will allow users to link to another page when clicked. Surround the image within the <a href=” “>…</a> tag combinations.
What is the difference between the directory and menu lists and the unordered list?
The key difference is that the directory and menu lists do not include attributes for changing the bullet style
Are <br> tags the only way to separate sections of text?
No. The <br> tag is only one way to separate lines of text. Other tags, like the <p> tag and <blockquote> tag, also separate sections of text.
