Interview questions and Answers for Web Development, HTML, CSS, JavaScrip

1. What is HTML and HTML5?

HTML – Hypertext Markup Language is the standard markup language for creating web pages and web applications. HTML5 is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. It is the fifth and current major version of the HTML standard.

2. Features of HTML5?

Semantics: allowing you to describe more precisely what your content is.

Connectivity: allowing you to communicate with the server in new and innovative ways.

Offline and storage: allowing webpages to store data on the client-side locally and operate offline more efficiently.

Multimedia: making video and audio first-class citizens in the Open Web.

2D/3D graphics and effects: allowing a much more diverse range of presentation options.

Performance and integration: providing greater speed optimization and better usage of computer hardware.

Device access: allowing for the usage of various input and output devices.

Styling: letting authors write more sophisticated themes.

3. What is a virtual root and how do you create one?

A virtual root is essentially a new web site in IIS. You’d create one in the MMC by either selecting “New Virtual Site” from the site context menu, or clicking “Create” in the Home Directory tab in the properties for any existing folder. Using the first method, you can also create a virtual root that points to a logical directory outside the current web root. The new virtual root is largely, although not completely, as configurable as a new web site.

4. How would you remotely administer IIS?

Windows Server comes with a limited terminal services server built in for remote administration of the server. Set it up as remote client and use the TS client or Remote Desktop Connection on the client to login. From there, use MMC as if you were logged on locally.

5. How would you go about securing IIS and MS-SQL Server?

Stay up to date on patches and keep security software (AV, firewall, IDS, maybe even packet logging, etc.) running.

IIS authenticates against domain users (even if the domain is “Local Machine”). Make sure you have no spurious users, and secure everyone’s passwords. If possible, segregate public web machines into different ACL segments (e.g. — a different domain).

Be careful with security policies. The standard server install comes with hardened LSP templates, which you should consider if you’re not experienced enough to build your own. Non-front tiers should have tight security policies barring anyone outside the adjacent tiers (and maybe a test machine or two) from access.

6. How do I make a graphic a link in HTML?

by Including the “img” tag between the “a href” tag and the “a” closing tag

7. What scripts ship with IIS ?

iisweb.vsb to create, delete, start, stop, and list Web sites, iisftp.vsb to create, delete, start, stop, and list FTP sites, iisdir.vsb to create, delete, start, stop, and display virtual directories, iisftpdr.vsb to create, delete, start, stop, and display virtual directories under an FTP root, iiscnfg.vbs to export and import IIS configuration to an XML file

8. What’s the name of the user who connects to the Web site anonymously?

IUSR_computername

9. What secure authentication and encryption mechanisms are supported by IIS?

Basic authentication, Digest authentication, Advanced digest authentication, Certificate-based Web transactions that use PKCS #7/PKCS #10, Fortezza, SSL, Server-Gated Cryptography, Transport Layer Security

10. Where’s ASP cache located on latest IIS ?

On disk, as opposed to memory, as it used to be in older IIS

11. What is socket pooling?

Non-blocking socket usage, introduced in IIS 6.0. More than one application can use a given socket.

25. What does the “Access is Denied” IE error mean?

26. Is a JavaScript script faster than an ASP script?

Yes. Since JavaScript is a client-side script it does require the web server’s help for its computation, so it is always faster than any server-side script like ASP,PHP,etc..

Undefined value cannot be explicitly stated that is there is no keyword called undefined whereas null value has keyword called null

typeof undefined variable or property returns undefined whereas typeof null value returns object

39. Does JavaScript have the concept level scope?

No. JavaScript does not have block level scope, all the variables declared inside a function possess the same level of scope unlike c,c++,java.

40. What are undefined and undeclared variables?

Undeclared variables are those that are not declared in the program (do not exist at all), trying to read their values gives runtime error. But if undeclared variables are assigned then implicit declaration is done. Undefined variables are those that are not assigned any value but are declared in the program. Trying to read such variables gives special value called undefined value.

41. What is === operator?

==== is strict equality operator, it returns true only when the two operands are having the same value without any type conversion.

43. What does break and continue statements do?

Continue statement continues the current loop (if label not specified) in a new iteration whereas break statement exits the current loop.

44. How to create a function using function constructor?

The following example illustrates this

It creates a function called square with argument x and returns x multiplied by itself.

var square = new Function (“x”,”return x*x”);
