COSC 2312 Web Authoring Unit F and G Quiz

True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
 

 1. 

CSS presentation and layout is based on the CSS box model.
 

 2. 

For every element, you can apply different padding, border, and margin properties to each of the four sides of the box.
 

 3. 

An element can have more than one background image.
 

 4. 

When you want to exactly match the color in an existing style rule or image, the eyedropper tool is your best bet.
 

 5. 

Cell phones or handhelds can display more colors than the typical computer monitor.
 

 6. 

If you don’t specify a value for borderstyle, the border will still display.
 

 7. 

Usually designers de-emphasize the footer by making the text smaller and less noticeable so it doesn’t distract from other, more important content on the page.
 

 8. 

Unlike the list or paragraph element, the div element does not have a specific semantic meaning.
 

 9. 

When writing a style rule you should specify a prioritized list of fonts, known as a font grouping, instead of a single font, in case the visitor’s computer doesn’t have a particular font installed.
 

 10. 

Navigation labels should be as long as they need to be, so there is no need to be short and succinct.
 

 11. 

Using text instead of graphics for navigation affords you much more flexibility in your font choices.
 

 12. 

Because Expression Web actually creates an image of the text, you are not limited to using Web-safe fonts.
 

 13. 

Maintaining a consistent look among the buttons in a navigation bar makes a Web site easier to navigate and your design more cohesive.
 

 14. 

Once you have created one interactive button that you like, the easiest way to create the others is to remember what you did the first time and follow those steps again from the beginning.
 

 15. 

Each page on a Web site should include a navigation bar, and this element should be consistent from page to page so that visitors can easily navigate the site.
 

 16. 

As a site’s complexity and diversity of content increase, it becomes less challenging to design navigation that is simple and easy to use.
 

 17. 

Visitors can easily feel disoriented on sites they are not familiar with, but links that are similar on every page can help to build their sense of familiarity and encourage them to explore the entire site.
