GATE CSE 2011 | Question: 9

Question

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) has language element which permit certain actions other than describing the structure of the web document. Which one of the following actions is NOT supported by pure HTML (without any server or client side scripting) pages?

(A) Embed web objects from different sites into the same page

(B) Refresh the page automatically after a specified interval 

(C) Automatically redirect to another page upon download

(D) Display the client time as part of the page

Comments

The correct answer is (D).

Pure HTML can handle embedding web objects, refreshing the page, and redirecting, but it cannot dynamically display the client’s local time. To show client-side time, JavaScript or another client-side scripting language is needed, as HTML is static and does not have access to the system's clock.

Answer 1

I think D is the correct answer, to display the system time help of any scripting language like Java Script, Jscript etc.. is required that can not be done using pure HTML.

You can right click and do view page source on any web page and most of them would have 

<img src="link">

which is used to include an image. Here link can be any website link.

Answer 2

(D) Display the client time as part of the page

• HTML alone cannot dynamically retrieve or display the client’s current time. Displaying the client time requires:

JavaScript on the client-side, such as:

document.write(new Date().toLocaleTimeString());
