Question 1
Write the basic structure of a simple HTML page.
Use `<!doctype html>`, then `<html>`, a `<head>` containing `<title>`, and a `<body>` for visible content. Close each element in reverse order. The doctype identifies the document as HTML.
What to learn
Create and format static webpages with the HTML elements in the CBSE syllabus. Practise text, lists, links, images, forms, tables and embedded media, then apply basic CSS properties.
- An HTML document uses elements to describe the structure and content of a page.
- Attributes provide additional information, such as an image source or link destination.
- Forms collect structured input; tables arrange data in rows and columns.
- CSS controls presentation such as colour, borders, spacing and typography.
Practical activity
Create a small three-page school-club site. Use headings, paragraphs, an ordered list, one image with descriptive alt text, a table, a form and internal links. Add a shared CSS rule for font, background colour, border and margins. Test every link in a browser.
Use your school’s prescribed software version and teacher instructions. Keep personal information out of public practice files.

Question 2
How do `rowspan` and `colspan` change a table?
`rowspan` makes a cell extend across multiple rows. `colspan` makes it extend across multiple columns. Use them when a heading or value applies to a combined table area.
Question 3
Give two accessible practices for an image and a form.
Provide meaningful `alt` text for an informative image. Give form controls clear labels and use suitable input types; this helps people understand and operate the form.
The CBSE 2026–27 outline includes legacy presentational attributes and the font element for syllabus assessment. In new production work, prefer CSS and semantic HTML; follow the exact scope taught by your school.
Revision checklist
- Can I explain the key terms without memorising a definition alone?
- Can I complete the listed practical task and describe each step?
- Can I apply the idea to a new example and explain why my answer works?
