    Kellee wants to determine which areas of her company's Web site attract visitors, and the frequency with which those areas are visited. Which of the following is the best way for her to determine these facts?

    • Monitor network traffic during peak hours.

    • Place a hit counter on each page of the Web site.

    • Analyze the Web site server logs to measure page access.

    • Call users and ask them which sections of the site they visit often.

    Correct Answer
    A. Analyze the Web site server logs to measure page access.
    Explanation
    Analyzing the website server logs is the best way for Kellee to determine which areas of her company's website attract visitors and the frequency of those visits. Server logs record all the requests made to the website, including the specific pages accessed and the time of access. By analyzing these logs, Kellee can gather data on the popularity of different areas of the website and the frequency of visits, allowing her to make informed decisions about improving and optimizing the website's content and layout. Monitoring network traffic, using hit counters, or asking users directly would not provide as comprehensive and accurate information as analyzing the server logs.

    Which of the following would typically be found in the contents of an external style sheet?

    • P [margin: 1in]

    • P (margin: 1in)

    • P { margin: 1in }

    Correct Answer
    A. P { margin: 1in }
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "P { margin: 1in }". This is the correct syntax for defining a CSS rule in an external style sheet. The "P" selector selects all paragraph elements, and the "margin: 1in" property sets the margin of the paragraphs to 1 inch. An external style sheet is a separate file that contains CSS rules and is linked to an HTML document using the tag. This allows for the separation of style and content, making it easier to maintain and update the styles across multiple pages.

    Jason needs to create a table with four columns and six rows. Which of the following attributes must he include in the <td> tag to allow the first cell to span across the entire width of the table?

    • Colspan="4"

    • Colspan="6"

    • Rowspan="6"

    • Width="100%"

    Correct Answer
    A. Colspan="4"
    Explanation
    To allow the first cell to span across the entire width of the table, Jason must include the attribute "colspan" in the tag. The value of "colspan" determines how many columns the cell should span. In this case, since the table has four columns, the correct value for "colspan" is "4". This will make the first cell occupy all four columns and cover the entire width of the table.

    You have been asked to transfer print copy to a Web page. Which of the following is a commonly accepted rule concerning white space in this situation?

    • A Web page should contain less than 10 percent white space at any time.

    • A Web page should contain more than 10 percent white space, but no more than 20 percent.

    • A Web page should contain approximately 50 percent less text than a printed page containing the same information.

    • A Web page should contain approximately 20 percent less text than a printed page containing the same information.

    Correct Answer
    A. A Web page should contain approximately 50 percent less text than a printed page containing the same information.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A Web page should contain approximately 50 percent less text than a printed page containing the same information." This is because reading on a screen is generally more difficult and tiring for the eyes compared to reading from a printed page. Therefore, it is recommended to have less text on a web page to make it easier for users to read and navigate.

    Which of the following strategies is best for implementing bulk e-mailing to customers?

    • Buy an e-mail list from a vendor that sells a similar product.

    • Give customers the option to receive or to stop receiving bulk e-mail.

    • Send e-mail messages to all customer e-mail addresses collected at the time of purchase.

    • Generate a list of e-mail addresses from a directory listing of people who work in the same field as your company.

    Correct Answer
    A. Give customers the option to receive or to stop receiving bulk e-mail.
    Explanation
    The best strategy for implementing bulk e-mailing to customers is to give customers the option to receive or stop receiving bulk e-mail. This approach ensures that customers have control over whether they want to receive promotional e-mails or not, which helps in building a positive customer relationship. It also complies with privacy regulations and avoids the risk of spamming customers who may not be interested in receiving bulk e-mails.

  • 7. 

    You are using a style sheet. Which of the following examples of code are best suited for crossplatform design?

    • Font-family: bold, italics;

    • Font-family=monotype, courier

    • Font-family: Impact, Verdana, Geneva;

    • Font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

    Correct Answer
    A. Font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    Explanation
    The code "font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" is best suited for cross-platform design because it specifies a list of font families that are commonly available on different operating systems and devices. This ensures that the text will be displayed consistently across various platforms, as it will try to use the first font family in the list, and if not available, it will fall back to the next one, and so on. This approach increases the chances of the text being rendered correctly regardless of the user's device or operating system.

    • Create the image using frames for its different components.

    Correct Answer
    A. Create the image using layers for its different components.
    Explanation
    By creating the image using layers, Susan can easily change the color of the specific shape in the background on each page. Layers allow for independent editing of different components of an image, making it the best option for achieving the desired result.

    The best way to thwart a dictionary attack is by enforcing a:

    • Proxy server policy.

    • Strong password policy.

    • Restricted access policy.

    • Firewall configuration policy.

    Correct Answer
    A. Strong password policy.
    Explanation
    A dictionary attack is a type of cyber attack where an attacker tries to gain unauthorized access to a system by systematically trying all possible words or combinations of words from a dictionary. Enforcing a strong password policy can help thwart such attacks as it requires users to create passwords that are complex and not easily guessable. Strong passwords typically include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, making it difficult for attackers to crack them using dictionary-based techniques.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which of the following techniques helps stop a denial-of-service (DOS) attack in which an attacker has sent multiple ICMP or TCP packets to crash a Web server on the Internet?

    • Filtering traffic at the firewall

    • Changing passwords on a regular basis

    • Installing Apache server rather than Microsoft IIS

    • Placing the database and the Web server on separate systems

    Correct Answer
    A. Filtering traffic at the firewall
    Explanation
    Filtering traffic at the firewall helps stop a denial-of-service (DOS) attack by blocking or filtering out the malicious packets sent by the attacker. By configuring the firewall to only allow legitimate traffic to reach the web server, the excessive ICMP or TCP packets sent by the attacker can be blocked, preventing the server from crashing. This technique helps protect the server and ensures that only valid traffic is allowed to access the web server.

    You have been asked to create a page that retrieves information from a database. Which of the following is the first step in obtaining information from a database from a Web page?

    • Conduct a database query.

    • Create a connection to the database.

    • Create a recordset to hold the query results.

    • Put the results in a recordset to ensure that the database returns data properly.

    Which of the following is directly exploited by a brute-force attack?

    • The Web server's available bandwidth

    • The Web server's authentication mechanisms

    • The TCP/IP software installed on the Web server

    • The log file mechanisms that exist on the Web server

    Correct Answer
    A. The Web server's authentication mechanisms
    Explanation
    A brute-force attack is a method used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to a system by systematically trying all possible combinations of passwords or encryption keys until the correct one is found. In this case, the correct answer is "The Web server's authentication mechanisms" because brute-force attacks target the authentication mechanisms of a web server, such as login forms or password authentication systems, in order to gain access to restricted areas or sensitive information. By repeatedly trying different combinations of usernames and passwords, the attacker hopes to find the correct credentials and bypass the authentication process.

    Which of the following is used in Secure XML to verify the origin of a message?

    • Triple DES

    • A digital signature

    • Symmetric-key encryption

    • An open encryption standard known as Gnu Privacy Guard

    Correct Answer
    A. A digital signature
    Explanation
    A digital signature is used in Secure XML to verify the origin of a message. Digital signatures provide a way to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the message by using a cryptographic algorithm to generate a unique signature for the message. This signature can be verified by the recipient using the sender's public key, ensuring that the message has not been tampered with and originated from the claimed sender. Triple DES, symmetric-key encryption, and Gnu Privacy Guard are encryption methods, but they do not specifically address message origin verification like a digital signature does.

    You have decided that using a pop-up window is appropriate in a particular situation. Which of the following can you use to ensure that the window is displayed in the proper location?

    • CSS and XHTML

    • XHTML and pseudo-code

    • JavaScript and pseudo-code

    Correct Answer
    A. JavaScript and the Document Object Model (DOM)
    Explanation
    To ensure that a pop-up window is displayed in the proper location, JavaScript and the Document Object Model (DOM) can be used. JavaScript can be used to create and manipulate elements on a webpage, while the DOM provides a way to access and modify the structure and content of a webpage. By using JavaScript and the DOM, you can dynamically position the pop-up window based on specific coordinates or relative to other elements on the page, ensuring that it is displayed in the desired location.

    Your site development team has created a Web site, and you want to test its accessibility. Which of the following do you need to conduct the test?

    • A test pool of very unskilled users

    • A test pool of at least five or six typical users

    • A test pool of at least six members of the Web team

    • A test pool of fewer than five moderately skilled users

    Correct Answer
    A. A test pool of at least five or six typical users
    Explanation
    To conduct a test on the accessibility of a website, it is necessary to have a test pool of at least five or six typical users. These users represent the average audience who will be accessing the website, and their feedback and experience will provide valuable insights into the website's accessibility. By including a diverse group of users, the test results will be more comprehensive and representative of the actual user base. A larger test pool also allows for a wider range of perspectives and ensures that any accessibility issues are identified and addressed effectively.

    The W3C has developed XHTML standards for the World Wide Web. These standards:

    • Allow proprietary software to run in other vendors' browsers.

    • Ensure consistent display in various browsers and platforms.

    • Define a language that incorporates data structures and internal logic.

    • allow markup elements to combine both structure and formatting in a single text file.

    Correct Answer
    A. Ensure consistent display in various browsers and platforms.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "ensure consistent display in various browsers and platforms." This is because XHTML standards developed by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) are designed to provide a consistent display of web content across different browsers and platforms. By adhering to these standards, web developers can ensure that their websites are displayed correctly regardless of the browser or platform being used by the user. This helps to improve the user experience and ensures that the content is accessible to a wider audience.

    What is the name for colors that create black when mixed together?

    • Radial

    • Additive

    • Subtractive

    • Transitional

    Correct Answer
    A. Subtractive
    Explanation
    Subtractive colors are the ones that create black when mixed together. This is because they absorb light and reflect very little, if any, back to our eyes. When all the colors in the subtractive color model (cyan, magenta, and yellow) are combined, they absorb all the light, resulting in the absence of color or black. Therefore, the correct answer is Subtractive.
