[108] Test Your HTML Skills! >:(

<ol><li><strong>1. A "password" control for an <input> tag echos (or masks) text entered into it as:</strong><br />a. asterisks<br />b. bullets<br />c. characters<br />d. any one of the above</li><li><strong>2. The HTML code fragment <tt><form method="post" action="mailto:adam@thetyphooncorp.com" /></tt> uses the:</strong><br />a. GET method<br />b. POST method<br />c. MAILTO method<br />d. ACTION method</li><li><strong>3. A good rule of thumb for creating <textarea> tags is to make the "cols" attribute between 50 and 100.</strong><br />a. True<br />b. False</li><li><strong>4. Common Gateway Interface</strong><br />a. value<br />b. reset control<br />c. CGI<br />d. POST method</li></ol>

Now for the answers! (Select text for answers)

<span style="background-color: black; color: black;">1. d. 2. b. 3. b. 4. c.</span>

Real questions from my retarded HTML web page programming test that I got an 87% on. The questions are either obscure and indeterminable or else extremely easy.

And I got one of the highest scores in the class. You'd <i>think</i> that this, combined with the inconsistant coding style (that tries to be XHTML but often reverts to HTML4) of our (X)HTML programming and its associated tests would make the teacher <em>maybe</em> think that <em>something's</em> wrong.

EDIT.01: Made the answers covered up due to complaints.

EDIT.02: I don't know if I made it clear enough; this "test" was supposed to show how retarded our books and tests are. Questions 1-3 are difficult due to the fact that they can be interpreted in many different ways. Question number four should be obvious to <em>anyone</em>, regardless of their computer expertise. (Yes, number four is actually how it appeared on the test.)

EDIT.03: As it turns out, 64Digits turns all of your <tt><</tt>'s and <tt>&rt;</tt>'s into actual greater-than and less-than signs upon editing. And now it'll turn my <tt>&</tt>'s into actual ampersands because I used them to explain this edit. Poo.
