❓Frequently Asked Questions
What is HTML and why is it important?
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages. It defines the structure of content on the web. HTML is the foundation of all web development, working alongside CSS for styling and JavaScript for interactivity.
What is the difference between HTML and HTML5?
HTML5 is the latest version of HTML, introducing new semantic elements (like <article>, <section>, <nav>), new input types (date, color, range), support for audio/video without plugins, canvas for graphics, and improved APIs for web applications.
What are the basic structure tags of an HTML document?
Every HTML document has a basic structure: <!DOCTYPE html> at the top, followed by <html>, which contains <head> (with <title>, meta tags, links to CSS) and <body> (where visible content is placed).
What is the difference between block-level and inline elements?
Block-level elements (like <div>, <p>, <h1>) start on a new line and take up full width. Inline elements (like <span>, <a>, <img>) do not start on a new line and only take up as much space as needed.
How do you create a hyperlink in HTML?
Use the <a> tag with the href attribute: <a href='https://example.com'>Link text</a>. You can also add target='_blank' to open in a new tab.
What is the role of the 'alt' attribute in images?
The alt attribute provides alternative text for an image if it cannot be displayed. It is essential for accessibility (screen readers) and improves SEO.
What is a semantic HTML element and why use it?
Semantic elements (like <header>, <footer>, <article>, <nav>) clearly describe their meaning to both the browser and developer. They improve accessibility, SEO, and maintainability of code.
How do you create a form in HTML?
Use the <form> tag with action (where to send data) and method (GET or POST). Inside, use input elements like text, password, submit, etc., with labels for usability.
