Question 1
Question 1
• GET /index.html HTTP/1.1: The client is requesting the index.html page using
the GET method.
• Host: www.example.com: Specifies the server hosting the resource.
HTTP Response:
An HTTP response is sent from the server back to the client, and it contains the following
components:
• Status Line: Includes the HTTP version, status code (e.g., 200 OK, 404 Not Found), and a
description of the status.
• Headers: Provide metadata about the server, content type, cache information, etc.
• Body: Contains the actual content requested (HTML, image, JSON, etc.).
Example of an HTTP Response:
plaintext
CopyEdit
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 1234
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2025 12:34:56 GMT
<html>
<head><title>Welcome</title></head>
<body><h1>Hello, World!</h1></body>
</html>
• HTTP/1.1 200 OK: The server successfully processed the request and returns a 200
status code.
• Content-Type: text/html: The response is an HTML document.
• This request asks the server to send the index.html page, which is then returned in the
HTTP response.
POST Method:
• Purpose: The POST method is used to send data to the server, often for creating or
updating resources. Data is sent in the body of the request.
• Characteristics:
• Non-idempotent: Each POST request may result in a change on the server, such as
adding a new record.
• Not Cacheable: POST requests are generally not cached.
• Larger Data Payload: Since data is sent in the body, POST can handle larger
amounts of data than GET.
username=JohnDoe&password=12345
• Request URL: /register – The URL where the server should process the data.
5. 5xx: Server errors (e.g., 500 Internal Server Error, 502 Bad Gateway)
2. <html>
3. <head>
4. <body>
5. <header>
6. <main>
7. <section>
8. <footer>
Significance:
• Ensures that the document is treated as an HTML5 document and adheres to the standards
set for modern browsers.
• Without this declaration, browsers may switch to "quirks mode," where the page rendering is
inconsistent with modern web standards.
html
CopyEdit
<!DOCTYPE html>
2.2 <html> Tag
Role:
• The <html> element is the root element of an HTML document. It wraps all other elements
within it, except for the DOCTYPE declaration. It signifies the beginning and end of an
HTML document.
Significance:
• Specifies the language of the document using the lang attribute. This is crucial for search
engine optimization (SEO) and accessibility tools.
• Encloses all content in the document.
html
CopyEdit
<html lang="en">
Significance:
• SEO and Accessibility: The <head> section plays a significant role in improving SEO,
managing how the page appears in search results, and specifying accessibility features.
• Styling and External Resources: The <head> section links external files like CSS for
styling or JavaScript for functionality, ensuring that the page's design and behavior are
separate from its structure.
html
CopyEdit
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<title>Document Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
Significance:
• The primary section that interacts with the user. All visible content, layout, and structure are
defined here.
• Ensures the content is organized and displayed for user interaction.
html
CopyEdit
<body>
<header>
<h1>Heading of the Webpage</h1>
</header>
<!-- Main content goes here -->
</body>
Significance:

branding, or top-level content.
html
CopyEdit
<header>
<h1>Heading of the Webpage</h1>
</header>
2.6 <main> Section
Role:
• The <main> tag is used to encapsulate the primary content of the document. This content
is central to the page's purpose and is distinct from headers, footers, or sidebars.
Significance:
• Semantic HTML: The <main> tag helps define the core content of the webpage, aiding
accessibility and SEO. It provides structure and helps search engines understand the main
focus of the page.
• The page may only have one <main> element to define the primary content area.
html
CopyEdit
<main>
<section>
<h2>Section Title</h2>
<p>Paragraph content here...</p>
</section>
</main>
Significance:
• Organizing Content: Sections provide structure to the page, making the content easier to
read and understand. They also help in SEO by defining content areas.
• Sections should be used when content has a clear relationship to the topic of the page.
html
CopyEdit
<section>
<h2>Section Title</h2>
<p>Paragraph content here...</p>
</section>
• <aside>: Represents content that is tangentially related to the content around it, such as a
sidebar or related links.
• <div> and <span>: Generic containers used for styling or layout purposes.

Full Example:
html
CopyEdit
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Working with Text</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>HTML allows you to format text using various tags to improve structure and
emphasis.</p>
<h2>Importance Tags</h2>
</body>
</html>
✅ Basic Syntax:
html
CopyEdit
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of image">
🔍 Important Attributes of <img>
Attribute Description
src (Required) Specifies the path or URL of the image file.
alt (Required) Provides alternative text if the image fails to load. Also improves
accessibility.
width Sets the width of the image (in pixels or %).
height Sets the height of the image.
title Tooltip text that appears when hovering over the image.
loading Defines how the image should be loaded: lazy or eager.
style Adds inline CSS styles (e.g., border, margin).
⚠️Best Practices
1. ✅ Always include an alt attribute.
</body>
</html>
🎨 1. Inline CSS
• CSS is written directly inside the HTML tag using the style attribute.
✅ Example:
html
CopyEdit
<p style="color: blue; font-size: 18px;">This paragraph uses inline CSS.</p>
🏠 2. Internal CSS
• CSS is written inside a <style> tag within the <head> section of the HTML document.
✅ Example:
html
CopyEdit
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
h1 {
color: darkgreen;
text-align: center;
}
p {
font-size: 16px;
color: gray;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
🌐 3. External CSS
• CSS is written in a separate .css file, and linked using the <link> tag in the <head>.
</body>
</html>
p {
font-size: 15px;
color: #444;
}
Describe how to work with various CSS selectors with
suitable example.
Working with CSS selectors is all about targeting specific HTML elements to apply styles. CSS provides a variety of
selectors to give you fine control over styling—ranging from basic element selectors to powerful attribute and pseudo
selectors.
Let’s explore the different types of CSS selectors with detailed explanations and examples:
✅ Example:
css
CopyEdit
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
✅ Example:
css
CopyEdit
p {
color: darkblue;
font-size: 16px;
}
✅ HTML:
html
CopyEdit
<p class="note">This is a note.</p>
<p class="note">Another note.</p>
✅ CSS:
css
CopyEdit
.note {
background-color: #f0f0f0;
padding: 10px;
}
🔹 4. ID Selector (#)
• Selects a single unique element by its id attribute.
✅ HTML:
html
CopyEdit
<h1 id="main-title">Welcome!</h1>
✅ CSS:
css
CopyEdit
#main-title {
color: darkgreen;
font-size: 28px;
}
🔹 5. Grouping Selector
• Applies the same style to multiple selectors.
✅ Example:
css
CopyEdit
h1, h2, h3 {
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
color: navy;
}
✅ CSS:
css
CopyEdit
.container p {
color: teal;
}
✅ HTML:
html
CopyEdit
<ul class="menu">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About
<ul><li>Team</li></ul>
</li>
</ul>
✅ CSS:
css
CopyEdit
.menu > li {
font-weight: bold;
}
✅ Example:
css
CopyEdit
h2 + p {
color: orange;
}
🔹 9. Attribute Selector
• Targets elements based on the presence or value of an attribute.
✅ Example:
css
CopyEdit
input[type="text"] {
border: 1px solid #333;
}
✅ Example:
css
CopyEdit
a:hover {
color: red;
text-decoration: underline;
}
li:first-child {
color: green;
}
✅ Example:
css
CopyEdit
p::first-letter {
font-size: 200%;
color: darkred;
}
✅ HTML:
html
CopyEdit
<div class="flex-container">
<div class="item">Item 1</div>
<div class="item">Item 2</div>
<div class="item">Item 3</div>
</div>
✅ CSS:
css
CopyEdit
.flex-container {
display: flex;
}
Property Description
display Defines a flex container (flex or inline-flex)
flex-direction Sets main axis (row, column, row-reverse, column-reverse)
flex-wrap Allows items to wrap (nowrap, wrap, wrap-reverse)
flex-flow Shorthand for flex-direction + flex-wrap
justify-content Aligns items horizontally (main axis)
Property Description
align-items Aligns items vertically (cross axis)
align-content Aligns wrapped lines (multi-line flexbox only)
✅ Example:
css
CopyEdit
.flex-container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row; /* row | column */
flex-wrap: wrap; /* wrap items to next line */
justify-content: center; /* main axis alignment */
align-items: center; /* cross axis alignment */
gap: 10px; /* spacing between items */
}
Property Description
flex Shorthand for flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis
flex-grow Defines how much item grows relative to others (default 0)
flex-shrink Defines how much item shrinks (default 1)
flex-basis Sets the initial size of item before growing/shrinking
align-self Overrides align-items for a single item
order Changes the order of items (default 0)
✅ Example:
css
CopyEdit
.item {
flex: 1; /* grow equally */
order: 2; /* change order */
align-self: flex-start; /* override vertical alignment */
}
.item {
background-color: #007bff;
color: white;
padding: 20px;
flex: 1; /* each item takes equal space */
margin: 5px;
text-align: center;
}
🔸 flex (Shorthand)
• flex: 1 → grow and fill space equally
✅ CSS:
css
CopyEdit
.flex-container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: space-between;
align-items: center;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
}
.flex-item {
flex: 1 1 30%; /* grow, shrink, base size */
min-width: 200px;
margin: 10px;
padding: 20px;
background-color: #007bff;
color: white;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 8px;
}
What Does This Do?
• display: flex: Turns .flex-container into a flex container.
• flex-wrap: wrap: Allows items to wrap onto new lines if space runs out.
• flex: 1 1 30%: Each item takes up 30% of space and can grow/shrink.
• Responsive behavior: On larger screens, items appear in a row; on smaller screens, they
stack vertically.
.box {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: teal;
color: white;
margin: 10px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 50px;
}
📷 Output Description:
• All boxes are centered horizontally.
• All boxes are aligned to the bottom of the container.
• Each box has equal spacing between them (margin: 10px).
🔹 1. Number
JavaScript uses the same type for integers and floats.
javascript
CopyEdit
let age = 25;
let price = 99.99;
🔹 2. String
Textual data wrapped in quotes (', ", or `).
javascript
CopyEdit
let name = "Alice";
let greeting = `Hello, ${name}!`;
🔹 3. Boolean
Represents logical true or false.
javascript
CopyEdit
let isLoggedIn = true;
let hasAccess = false;
🔹 4. Undefined
A variable that is declared but not assigned a value.
javascript
CopyEdit
let x;
console.log(x); // undefined
🔹 5. Null
Represents a deliberate non-value (you assign it yourself).
javascript
CopyEdit
let user = null;
console.log(user); // null
🔹 6. BigInt
Used for very large integers beyond Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER.
javascript
CopyEdit
let bigNumber = 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890n;
console.log(typeof bigNumber); // bigint
🔹 7. Symbol
Used to create unique identifiers (often for object keys).
javascript
CopyEdit
let id1 = Symbol("user");
let id2 = Symbol("user");
✅ Syntax:
javascript
CopyEdit
function functionName(parameter1, parameter2, ...) {
// code to be executed
}
✅ Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
function greet(name) {
console.log("Hello, " + name + "!");
}
✅ Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
greet("Alice"); // Output: Hello, Alice!
greet("Bob"); // Output: Hello, Bob!
✅ Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
function multiply(x, y) {
return x * y;
}
🧠 6. Function Expressions
A function can also be assigned to a variable. This is known as a function expression.
✅ Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
const subtract = function(a, b) {
return a - b;
};
• Note: Function expressions are not hoisted (you cannot call them before declaration).
⚡ 7. Arrow Functions (ES6+)
A shorter syntax for writing function expressions.
✅ Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
const square = (n) => {
return n * n;
};
console.log(square(5)); // Output: 25
For one-liners, you can skip the return and curly braces:
javascript
CopyEdit
const cube = n => n * n * n;
💡 8. Default Parameters
You can set default values for parameters in case no argument is passed.
✅ Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
function greetUser(name = "Guest") {
console.log("Welcome, " + name);
}
✅ Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
function sumAll(...numbers) {
let total = 0;
for (let num of numbers) {
total += num;
}
return total;
}
✅ Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
function greet(name, callback) {
console.log("Hi " + name);
callback();
}
function sayBye() {
console.log("Goodbye!");
}
greet("Meena", sayBye);
// Output:
// Hi Meena
// Goodbye!
✅ Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
setTimeout(function() {
console.log("Executed after 2 seconds");
}, 2000);
JavaScript is used to access and modify HTML elements dynamically, allowing for interactive and
dynamic web pages. Let's break down how JavaScript interacts with the DOM, including
accessing, manipulating, and modifying elements.
🧠 What is the DOM?
The DOM is an object-oriented model that represents a document as a tree structure. Each node in
the tree represents a part of the document, such as an element, attribute, or text.
Key Points:
• Element nodes: Represent HTML tags like <div>, <p>, <a>.
JavaScript provides methods to interact with this tree structure to change content, styles, and
structure on the fly.
1.1 getElementById()
This method retrieves an element by its id attribute.
javascript
CopyEdit
let element = document.getElementById("myElement");
console.log(element); // Logs the element with id="myElement"
1.2 getElementsByClassName()
This method retrieves all elements with a specific class name.
javascript
CopyEdit
let elements = document.getElementsByClassName("myClass");
console.log(elements); // Logs an HTMLCollection of elements with class
"myClass"
1.3 getElementsByTagName()
This method retrieves all elements with a specific tag name.
javascript
CopyEdit
let divs = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
console.log(divs); // Logs all <div> elements in an HTMLCollection
1.4 querySelector()
This method retrieves the first matching element that matches a CSS selector.
javascript
CopyEdit
let firstDiv = document.querySelector("div");
console.log(firstDiv); // Logs the first <div> element found
1.5 querySelectorAll()
This method retrieves all elements that match a CSS selector.
javascript
CopyEdit
let allDivs = document.querySelectorAll("div");
console.log(allDivs); // Logs all <div> elements in a NodeList
2.2 textContent
Use textContent to modify just the text content of an element (without HTML tags).
javascript
CopyEdit
let myDiv = document.getElementById("myDiv");
myDiv.textContent = "New text content!";
3.2 getAttribute()
Use getAttribute() to get the current value of an attribute.
javascript
CopyEdit
let link = document.getElementById("myLink");
let hrefValue = link.getAttribute("href");
console.log(hrefValue); // Logs the href attribute value
3.3 removeAttribute()
Use removeAttribute() to remove an attribute from an element.
javascript
CopyEdit
let button = document.getElementById("myButton");
button.removeAttribute("disabled");
4. Modifying Styles
4.1 style Property
You can directly modify the style of an element by setting CSS properties through the style
object.
javascript
CopyEdit
let myDiv = document.getElementById("myDiv");
myDiv.style.backgroundColor = "blue";
myDiv.style.color = "white";
// Add a class
myDiv.classList.add("active");
// Remove a class
myDiv.classList.remove("inactive");
// Toggle a class
myDiv.classList.toggle("highlight");
5. Creating Elements
Use document.createElement() to create a new HTML element.
javascript
CopyEdit
let newDiv = document.createElement("div");
newDiv.textContent = "This is a new div element!";
document.body.appendChild(newDiv);
6. Appending Elements
You can append new elements to existing ones using appendChild().
javascript
CopyEdit
let parentDiv = document.getElementById("parentDiv");
let newPara = document.createElement("p");
newPara.textContent = "This is a new paragraph.";
parentDiv.appendChild(newPara);
7. Removing Elements
You can remove elements using removeChild() or remove().
javascript
CopyEdit
let myDiv = document.getElementById("myDiv");
myDiv.remove(); // Removes the element from the DOM
📚 1. Asynchronous JavaScript
✅ What is Asynchronous Programming?
In synchronous programming, tasks are executed one after another. Each task blocks the next task
until it's completed. Asynchronous programming, on the other hand, allows tasks to run
independently of the main program flow, enabling multiple tasks to run concurrently.
In JavaScript, asynchronous behavior is often used when dealing with I/O operations, such as
network requests, file handling, or timers, where tasks can take an unpredictable amount of time
to complete.
✅ Why Asynchronous?
• Non-blocking: It doesn't block the main thread while waiting for tasks (e.g., fetching data
from a server).
• Improved User Experience: For example, a web page can load while another task (like a
background data fetch) is in progress.
• Efficiency: Multiple tasks can be executed in parallel, optimizing resource usage.
📡 2. Role of AJAX in Asynchronous JavaScript
✅ What is AJAX?
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a technique used to send and receive data
asynchronously between the client (browser) and the server, without having to reload the entire
page. This allows web pages to update dynamically by requesting data in the background.
AJAX is not a programming language itself; it refers to a combination of technologies:
• JavaScript: The programming language for making asynchronous requests.
• XMLHttpRequest (XHR) or Fetch API: The browser API used to send requests to the
server.
• JSON or XML: The formats often used for data exchange (JSON is more common today).
2. The server processes the request and sends back a response (e.g., JSON data).
3. JavaScript handles the response and updates the web page without refreshing it.
✅ AJAX Example Using Fetch API
The Fetch API is a more modern and simpler way to make asynchronous HTTP requests in
JavaScript.
javascript
CopyEdit
fetch("https://api.example.com/data")
.then(response => response.json()) // Convert the response to JSON
.then(data => console.log(data)) // Handle the response data
.catch(error => console.log("Error:", error)); // Handle errors
• The server processes the request and returns the requested data.
✅ POST Method
The POST method is used to send data to the server to create or update a resource. The data is sent
in the body of the request, making it more secure and capable of handling larger amounts of data
compared to GET.
• headers: Sets the content type of the request (in this case, JSON).
✅ Promises
A Promise is an object representing the eventual completion (or failure) of an asynchronous
operation and its resulting value.
Promise Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
let fetchData = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
let success = true; // Simulating success or failure
if (success) {
resolve("Data fetched successfully!");
} else {
reject("Error fetching data.");
}
});
fetchData
.then(response => console.log(response)) // Success handler
.catch(error => console.log(error)); // Error handler
✅ Async/Await
Async/await is built on top of Promises and makes asynchronous code look and behave like
synchronous code.
Async/Await Example:
javascript
CopyEdit
async function fetchData() {
try {
let response = await fetch("https://api.example.com/data");
let data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.log("Error:", error);
}
}
fetchData();
