ITPEC IP October 2019 Question 9

Topic: Algorithm and Programming

Which of the following is usually created using HTML?

Explanation

Web page — HTML is the markup language in which web pages are written.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) marks up a page's content with tags such as <h1>, <p>, <a> and <img>: headings, paragraphs, hyperlinks to other pages and images. A web server sends the HTML file, and the browser interprets the tags to lay out the page; CSS usually adds the styling and JavaScript the behaviour.

Answer (b)

Why not others:

  • •(a) Web browser — the application that downloads and displays HTML pages; it reads HTML but is itself a program written in languages such as C++
  • •(c) Cookie — a small piece of data a web server asks the browser to store and send back on later visits, for example to keep a login session
  • •(d) SQL program — SQL is the language for defining, querying and updating relational databases, not a way to build pages

Key rule: HTML describes the structure of a web page with tags and the browser renders it; markup languages such as HTML and XML describe documents, while programming and query languages give instructions.
