You are developing a table that contains a summary of complex data, and users have requested an option to view more details when needed. How could you utilize HTML and CSS to facilitate this while maintaining clean and user-friendly design?

Create a nested table for details within the main table.
Use CSS hover to show details when hovering over summary rows.
Use JavaScript to toggle between summary and detailed views.
Utilize the

and

HTML elements for collapsible content.

The

and

elements in HTML are specifically designed for displaying and hiding information. Users can click on the

content to view the additional details contained within the

tag. This approach keeps the design clean and provides an intuitive mechanism for users to access more information on demand.

What is the purpose of the cite attribute in the blockquote element?

To apply styles to the quotation.
To identify the citing element.
To provide a URL to the source of the quotation.
To specify the character encoding.

The cite attribute in the blockquote element provides a URL reference to the original source of the quote. It helps attribute the quotation to its original context or source, ensuring that content is properly credited. However, this attribute doesn't cause the URL to be displayed; it's more for metadata purposes and can be used by search engines or other tools to establish a link to the original source.

How does browser support affect the usage of image maps, and what are the alternatives?

All modern browsers support image maps without issues.
Image maps are deprecated, and CSS should be used instead.
Use CSS sprites as an alternative.
Use SVG graphics with embedded links.

While image maps (defined with the

and

tags) are supported in most modern browsers, they can sometimes present issues in terms of responsiveness and scaling across different devices. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) offers a more flexible and modern alternative, allowing for precise coordinate-based shapes and embedded links. This means that regions within an SVG graphic can be made clickable, similar to image maps, but with better scalability and potentially better support across modern web technologies.

Inline elements do not respect the _______ property.

background-image
color
font-size
margin

Inline elements do not respect all the sides of the margin property, specifically margin-top and margin-bottom. They will only respect margin-left and margin-right. This means that while you can push an inline element left or right using margins, you cannot effectively push elements above or below it.

How does the "disabled" attribute affect options within a select list?

It changes the color of the options.
It prevents those options from being sent to the server.
It makes the options invisible.
It makes the options unselectable by the user.

The "disabled" attribute, when applied to an option within a select list, renders that option unselectable by the user. While the option remains visible within the dropdown list, it is greyed out (in most browsers) and cannot be chosen. This is particularly useful when you want to show an option as being present but not currently available for selection.

You noticed that using target="_blank" for external links redirects users but may pose a security risk. How can you mitigate this risk while maintaining the functionality?

Add a JavaScript onclick event.
Remove the target attribute altogether.
Use only internal links.
Use rel="noopener noreferrer" with the anchor tag.

When using target="_blank", the new page can potentially gain access to the window object of the original page through the window.opener property, posing a potential security risk. Adding rel="noopener noreferrer" to the anchor tag prevents this behavior, protecting users from any potential security vulnerabilities.

What is the precedence order of styles defined in the internal and external style sheets?

External overrides Internal.
Internal overrides External.
They are combined and averaged.
Whichever is loaded first takes precedence.

In CSS, the specificity and source order determine which styles are applied. If the specificity is the same, the style that comes last in the source order will be applied. Therefore, since internal styles (those defined in a
