About the Test

This test evaluates a candidate’s capacity to use the best practices based on CSS, which helps in styling the website, the most widely used language for web development.

CSS is what stands for Cascading Style Sheets. The language CSS is used to describe the look and feel of online pages. It is one of the most fundamental building blocks of every website; thus, learning it is crucial if you want to pursue a career in web development. Using CSS, a website is styled. By utilizing the many subskills like alignment, opacity, color, background color, adjustment, and some of the basic tags, you may construct a great design component for the website.

Basic questions show the use of basic tags that are frequently used. CSS properties contain some questions that are made with mixed properties. CSS alignment allows for aligning text, images, buttons, tables, etc. Advanced-level questions are based on opacity, overflow property, etc. The opacity property specifies the opacity/transparency of an element. The CSS overflow property controls what happens to content that is too big to fit into an area.

Basic

In CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), “basic” refers to a set of properties and techniques that are essential for styling the appearance of an element on a webpage. These basic properties and techniques are fundamental to understanding how CSS works and are often used as the foundation for more advanced styles.

2

Properties

“Properties” in CSS refer to the various characteristics of an element that can be modified using CSS. These can include both basic properties, such as those listed above, as well as more advanced or specialized properties.

3

Alignment

“Alignment” in CSS refers to the way that an element is positioned within its parent container or on the page. Several alignment properties in CSS can be used to control the alignment of elements, including “text-align” for aligning text within an element, and “margin” and “padding” for controlling the space around an element.

4

Advance

”Advance” in CSS refers to more advanced or specialized properties and techniques that can be used to style elements in more complex or customized ways. This may include things like CSS animations, transitions, and grid layouts. Examples of advanced properties and techniques in CSS include animation allows elements to be animated using keyframes and animation properties. The transition allows elements to smoothly transition between different states or styles.
