I got a background question wrong in html5.... which is wierd cos I used the same answer later on and got that right |huh

So I got all 20 in 3:32

Since that was slower than Sparky I decided to try learning something new ...

I went through the test one more time and used firebug to move the hidden variable

to a value that made my final time ok by me ...

Had never tried that before. Might be an online test taking skill some day ...

Question five confused the fuck out of me.
My answer would be "none of the above". I use:

I AM proud of myself. I'm gonna print that out and hang it on the fridge.

Damn, looking at everyone's time spent. I guess watching the original Iron Man movie at the same time as taking the quiz wasn't such a good idea. :D

Don't feel bad, Cleo, it took me even longer as I was on the phone while doing mine.

I misread one question about how to make a list with numbers as if the question was *without* numbers.

But pretty easy questions for anyone who writes code in a text editor.

bgcolor was deprecated in HTML 4.01 and you're supposed to use CSS syntax now. While it works now, once HTML5 is finalized (and I don't think you can use bgcolor on HTML 4.01 strict), sites that depend on that will start to break.

In reality, it should be done through CSS, not a style parameter to the body tag, but, either way is permissible.

I beat you by two seconds :P

Their server must be in Poland ;)

Thanks.

So I'm going to have to change over 100 sites, that is several thousand pages.

Fuck!

It was depreciated in 1996 or 1997 - so you have had a few years to make changes.

You gotta keep you with the Jones

I missed that memo!

I think I read that the HTML codes that will no longer work won't happen til 2025 or something silly like that. Until that time, I'll use the occasional whenever I damn well feel like it! :D

OK, fuck this, you are saying that "center" is obsolete too???? I really must do some fucking homework occasionally!

I guess this is an example of "old people not keeping up with the times". :(

On the plus side, if I stop using "center", my spell checker will stop telling me that my code is all wrong (It is set to true English, not American English, so "center" is seen as a spelling mistake).

Well Cleo I guess taking the quiz while having my daughter asking questions and giving me things isn't also a good idea :D

Hmm, seems to me that as soon as HTML 5 becomes "THE" standard, a hell of a lot of non-professional sites will break. For example, if you are in to TV SCI-FI the best site for that is http://clivebanks.co.uk/ but that is entirely done on frames, and he appears to have been given or bought a template to use, and knows very little about HTML, so what is probably my biggest non-work related resource will disappear! :(

I think the biggest changes will be reflected in video and some graphics, though there are quite a few new tags to be mindful of. Best to start using them now...

HTML4.01 Transitional will still be supported, which supports the bgcolor and center tags, etc. HTML4.01 Strict does not support those tags, which is what a lot of sites should have moved to as it eliminates a lot of the cross-browser incompatibility. HTML4 was only standardized in 1999, and is supposed to be supported until 2024 if I recall the RFC.

As the line between websites and apps blurs, HTML5 offers a number of features that are extremely useful. You know all that code you need to play a flash video on IE and Firefox/Chrome/Safari? Single
