Can HTML Actually Be Hard? LinkedIn HTML Quiz

[@666natas]

Reading the comments here, I feel SO much better that I am not the only one who failed this test 😅. I started the quiz thinking I would get more dev cred... and left questioning whether or not I should pick a different career.

[@666natas]

@@donaldmcclain4353 I felt terrible, because I picked what I thought would be the easiest test; I didn't even dare trying any other ones after that hahaha.

[@SuprabhaDeyTalentsToSee]

And I'm thinking whether I should stop going to IT sector, leaving Food Technology!

[@broccool2300]

This is hard because most people don't use what is on the test. It is just testing your memory anyways and remembering every little thing is not the way to be effective.

[@aammssaamm]

Like only these never used cases make you a great developer 😂

[@rishabhgupta6607]

But why do they ask so complex questions in interviews, which makes you question yourself that are you actually a developer not knowing these things and certainly not using these concepts.☹️

[@iancuninghame9163]

On the other hand, having to look up every little thing doesn't make you very effective either

The tag visually draws a horizontal line but its main purpose it to designate a topic shift. Answer D was correct

[@vedantx-b2986]

A tag stands for quotes whenever we use it it add '' '' these to the sentence

[@kohlod]

Can we get "html things that most people barely know" video? please

[@dmeurer4951]

Its this one

[@shr1han]

Q1: The tag does nothing other than adding a Zero width space, which visually does nothing other than "word-breaking whatever is inside it". Q2: The text inside the audio tag behaves just like the noscript tag, wherein you specify something "when JavaScript is disabled or not supported". The text inside the audio tag will only ever be displayed if the audio cannot be played. It doesn't show any controls or something. Only the text. Q4: The blockquote element is only used for long quotes, while the q element is used for inline quotes. The cite tag already italicizes the text. Q7: The address tag italicizes the text by default. Q12: AFAIK, all answers are incorrect. This has to be reported. Quotes in attributes can't be escaped like this. You have to use the &quot and &apos to do that.

[@xBZZZZyt]

Yes I tested all Q12 answers. They all wrong. Use """ to escape quotes.

[@mrshnp]

idk these questions seem so unnecessarily difficult. Or maybe im just so used to googling everything at this point.

[@666natas]

For real: If I pass it, I will add "Programs in HTML" to my profile 😂

Top 5% Kyle. Congrats man. That is a big accomplishment. Congratulations. Kyle, you got top 5% on JS, CSS and HTML, Bravo. You are also top 1% in teaching in my opinion. You make my day job as Solutions Engineer easier. Release your reactJS course on Udemy.

[@73dines]

w3schools tests - too easy linkedIn tests - pretty hard

[@ed1nh0]

Thankfully I came from the age of websites - later 90's - and could follow its evolution since then. HTML5 is full of semantic tags and every web dev should know them. Thank you for sharing this with us. Keep up Kyle! You're making difference! 👊🏼

[@nomorecensorship2815]

Lol that was more intense than I imagined

[@eduardzorici]

11/15 - the label tag must have a "for" attribute, you got the good one.

[@jr-hp7er]

I have taken assesment for Node.js, and React two days back. I think React was good, but Node.js was little tricky, though it said you're in top 5 percent for Node.js and top 30 percent for React. For Node.js and React, I must say they really asked good questions...

[@tetianatrofymets7940]

#1 The (Word Break Opportunity) tag specifies where in a text it would be ok to add a line-break. When a word is too long, the browser might break it at the wrong place. You can use the element to add word break opportunities. #2 I've tried to reproduce this code example in Codepen but the text never appeared

[@tetianatrofymets7940]

#4 The tag defines a short quotation. Browsers normally insert quotation marks around the quotation. is for long quotations.

[@tetianatrofymets7940]

As for me, (after googling and checking W3), it seems like this question has no right answer because w3 says: "The tag defines the title of a creative work (e.g. a book, a poem, a song, a movie, a painting, a sculpture, etc.). Note: A person's name is not the title of a work." And here we actually have THE PERSON''S NAME which is not for tag

[@tetianatrofymets7940]

#7 The tag defines the contact information for the author/owner of a document or an article. The text in the element usually renders in italic, and browsers will always add a line break before and after the element.

[@tetianatrofymets7940]

#8 readonly, form and spellcheck are attributes. No "max" here, only maxlength

[@tetianatrofymets7940]

#10 The enctype attribute lets you specify an encoding type for your form. text/plain is a valid option, although it sends the data without any encoding at all. It is not recommended, as its behavior is difficult to predict.

[@taniksusu4034]

Fun Fact: This is HTML quiz in only name they are testing your a googling skills which are most important in IT world.

[@CodingNuggets]

A lot of people are starting to do these LinkedIn quizzes. Guess I need to get on the bandwagon. Do they actually help at all?

[@robertradford4707]

For the time being it does seem like recruiters like seeing them but unless the quality of the questions is improved I think that won't last long because as is all of them are passable by having Google on one monitor and the quiz on the other. I've programmed for a long time but only started getting into web development like 7 months ago and "earned" top 1% in CSS

[@RACAPE]

Yes. I failed HTML Linkedin quiz 3 times, and passed Javascript and React Js from first attempt.

[@pranayrathor7343]

HEY KYLE, I would suggest you should do an video of these lnkdin exams question with correct option and explanation it would be very helpful for to get the correct answers in mind after going through this video

[@AvanaVana]

On question 12, none of the provided answers work when tested. You need to use HTML character entities: " for the double quotes, and ' for the apostrophe. (Or ' if you are only supporting html5 browsers) Also, question 13 has no single correct answer: several answers are correct. According to Mozilla html docs, “the label text is not only visually associated with its corresponding text input; it is programmatically associated with it too.” That makes the first and fourth answers both correct, and technically the second is too, because you can use the label tag with other types of form fields besides input of type “text”. Who writes these things?

[@PaulMcCannWebBuilder]

10 of these questions should be easy-peasy for anyone calling themselves a web developer.The others might be a little tricky or unclear enough to be disputed. For example the specs say that the cite tag shouldn't be used for people's names, only titles of works, but that rule is commonly disputed and ignored. Things like knowing the address tag defaults to italics would be known after using it once. Developers should know the strong tag is the HTML5 semantic way to bold something (making screen readers make the voice over 'stronger'). Should they know that the b and i tag were deprecated but then brought back? That's trivia, but knowing the strong and em are the semantic way to bold or italicize is the same as knowing why you'd italicize or bold words or phrases in regular English writing. Knowing that an aside is for tangential content and can certainly hold images (as in a diagram illustrating what's in the article) might seem arcane, but it should be basic. HTML is the basic grammar of the web, and being familiar with the specs to know how and why you'd use a particular tag should be fundamental.

form isn't an attribute. it's an element itself and you wrap around your inputs, labels, textareas, buttons etc around it.

no form is also an attribute.

For question 10 I’m pretty sure the answer was A cuz the entire quote was wrapped in single quotes so you just needed to escape the apostrophe. I think you didn’t realize it was wrapped in single quotes vs double

[@awekeningbro1207]

it's not a good practice in terms of readability

[@tomg0]

@@awekeningbro1207 It’s definitely very readable if you use good class or id names while developing. Most major websites use class names like q_dA_b or whatever but they don’t use those in development. Its just to decrease the file size, which decreases the page load time and saves bandwidth.

[@awekeningbro1207]

@@tomg0 that is true. But i am talking about while the website is in development process. Often times, you develop along with your coworkers, so, using semantic html could clear things more, and if you are really worried about the size, before you ship the product to the production, you have plenty of options to minify your codebase that include transforming all long semantic elements into normal divs, it doesn't even matter how long you name your variables.

[@lifetoweb]

Professionally(22 years), I won't do this kind of tests because they are fundamentally wrong. They can't measure the level of how good programmer you are. The important things are Problem-solving, understanding programming concepts/paradigms, writing clean readable, efficient code. Asking to memorise things you rarely use and decide who is good or bad is ridiculous. I would expect Linked-in to be smart about these things instead of asking questions has the quality of cosmopolitan tests. So sad to see millions of people wasting their time doing obviously wrong things and with wrong results giving wrong decisions. #facepalmemoji
