Q

What should headings be used for?

A

Headings Are Important

Use HTML headings for headings only. Don’t use headings to make text BIG or bold.

Search engines use your headings to index the structure and content of your web pages.

Since users may skim your pages by its headings, it is important to use headings to show the document structure.

H1 headings should be used as main headings, followed by H2 headings, then the less important H3 headings, and so on.

Q

What are the 2 types of methods in the methos attribute in a form tag?

A

get

post

Notes on the “get” method:

  • This method appends the form-data to the URL in name/value pairs
  • This method is useful for form submissions where a user want to bookmark the result
  • There is a limit to how much data you can place in a URL (varies between browsers), therefore, you cannot be sure that all of the form-data will be correctly transferred
  • Never use the “get” method to pass sensitive information! (password or other sensitive information will be visible in the browser’s address bar)

Notes on the “post” method:

  • This method sends the form-data as an HTTP post transaction
  • Form submissions with the “post” method cannot be bookmarked
  • The “post” method is more robust and secure than “get”, and “post” does not have size limitations

A

With frames, you can display more than one HTML document in the same browser window. Each HTML document is called a frame, and each frame is independent of the others.

The disadvantages of using frames are:

  • Frames are difficult to use. (Printing the entire page is difficult).
  • The web developer must keep track of more HTML documents

An iframe is used to display a web page within a web page.

<p><a href=”http://www.w3schools.com” target=”iframe_a”>W3Schools.com</a></p>

This link will switch the displayed html with the one referenced.

45
Q

What is the best way to design a layout for an HTML document?

A

Website Layouts

Most websites have put their content in multiple columns (formatted like a magazine or newspaper).

Multiple columns are created by using <table> or <div> tags. Some CSS are normally also added to position elements, or to create backgrounds or colorful look for the pages.

Even though it is possible to create nice layouts with HTML tables, tables were designed for presenting tabular data - NOT as a layout tool!

Because advanced layouts take time to create, a quicker option is to use a template. Search Google for free website templates (these are pre-built website layouts you can use and customize).
