Imagine you are building a pricing page with a table layout, and you are asked to ensure that specific cells are highlighted dynamically based on user interaction. How would you implement this while keeping the table layout clean and accessible?

  • Hardcode the highlighted cells. 
  • Use Flash animations to highlight cells. 
  • Use a JavaScript event listener to add or remove CSS classes based on user actions. 
  • Use inline styles to change cell background color. 
By using JavaScript event listeners combined with CSS classes, you can dynamically highlight cells based on user interaction without compromising the clean and semantic structure of the table. Inline styles can clutter the HTML, while hardcoding lacks flexibility. Flash is outdated and not recommended for modern web design.

What is the difference between strict and transitional DOCTYPE in HTML 4.01?

  • Strict doesn't allow inline styles, whereas Transitional does. 
  • Strict has deprecated tags, while Transitional does not. 
  • Strict is for XML documents, and Transitional is for HTML documents. 
  • Strict is for modern practices without deprecated tags, while Transitional allows for older practices and deprecated tags. 
In HTML 4.01, two common DOCTYPEs were Strict and Transitional. The Strict DOCTYPE conforms to the latest HTML specifications and doesn't support deprecated tags or attributes.

How do you create a link that navigates to a specific section within the same HTML document?

  • Embed a JavaScript function. 
  • Link the section as an external document.

  • Use a class attribute with the section name.

The meta tag with attribute _______ helps in making the web page mobile responsive.

  • author 
  • charset 
  • description 
  • viewport 
The viewport attribute in the tag helps control the page's dimensions and scaling. It's crucial for responsive design as it instructs the browser how to fit the web page into different device screens.
