CSS Multiple Choice Questions on “Inheritance and Cascade”.

1. Which of the following are different origins of style sheets?
a) author
b) user
c) user agent
d) all of the mentioned

Answer: d
Clarification: Author: The author specifies style sheets for a source document according to the conventions of the document language. For instance, in HTML, style sheets may be included in the document or linked externally.
User: The user may be able to specify style information for a particular document. For example, the user may specify a file that contains a style sheet or the user agent may provide an interface that generates a user style sheet (or behaves as if it did).
User agent: Conforming user agents must apply a default style sheet. A user agent’s default style sheet should present the elements of the document language in ways that satisfy general presentation expectations for the document language

3. Which of the following property is used to define how nested items are rendered in a 3-D space?
a) transform-style

c) transform-origin
d) transform-3D

Answer: a
Clarification: transform-style is used to define how nested items are rendered in a 3-D space, the choice being either flattened or with their dimensions preserved. This property affects the children of the element and not the element itself. Also, the property does not cascade, so it is necessary to apply it at all levels.

a) @media
b) @important
