Questions and Answers

1.

Dreamweaver’s Preferences have to be updated with every session.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Dreamweaver’s Preferences do not have to be updated with every session. Preferences in Dreamweaver are settings that allow users to customize the software according to their needs and preferences. Once these preferences are set, they remain in effect until the user decides to change them. Therefore, there is no need to update the preferences with every session.

What are the suggested maximum number of characters in an Alt text before having to use a longdesc attribute?
- A.
  
  100
- B.
  
  128
- C.
  
  256
- D.
  
  512
Correct Answer
A. 100

Explanation
The suggested maximum number of characters in an Alt text before having to use a longdesc attribute is 100. This means that when providing alternative text for an image, it is recommended to keep the description within 100 characters to ensure accessibility for individuals who use screen readers or have limited access to visual content.

3.

Filler images or images that just bring color and interest to the page but have no real value to do with the intended content of the page should have an alt tag of ‘’ ‘’ (two double-quotes with nothing between them).
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Filler images or images that have no real value to the content of the page should have an empty alt tag. This is because alt tags provide alternative text for visually impaired users or when the image fails to load. In the case of filler images, since they do not contribute to the intended content, leaving the alt tag empty indicates that there is no meaningful information to convey about the image.

4.

What is the Alt text attribute used for?
- A.
  
  To provide an alternate meaning such as in a dictionary definition.
- B.
  
  To alter the use of a variable in HTML.
- C.
  
  To provide a description of a graphical object to a screen reader.
- D.
  
  To provide visual cues to someone who may be hearing impaired.
Correct Answer
C. To provide a description of a graphical object to a screen reader.

Explanation
The Alt text attribute is used to provide a description of a graphical object to a screen reader. Screen readers are assistive technologies that read aloud the content of a webpage to individuals with visual impairments. By using the Alt text attribute, web developers can provide a text description of images, graphs, or other visual elements on a webpage, allowing screen readers to convey this information to visually impaired users. This helps ensure that all users, regardless of their abilities, can access and understand the content of a webpage.

5.

“This is an image of…” is good example of an Alt text attribute.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because "This is an image of..." is not a good example of an Alt text attribute. Alt text attributes are used to describe the content of an image for visually impaired users who use screen readers. The alt text should provide a concise and accurate description of the image, rather than stating that it is an image.
