 web designCSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets language. It is a standard for applying style to HTML elements. CSS is widely popular since it eliminates of writing too many HTML tag to make the document more reader friendly

I have listed 20 Most commonly asked CSS interview questions with answers.

1. What are different ways to apply styles to a Web page?
Inline CSS,
Embedded CSS
Linked CSS or External Styles
Imported CSS: importing one stylesheet in the main stylesheet (@import url(‘/css/layout.css’);)
2. What is the difference between an ID selector and CLASS?
An ID selector identifies and sets style to only one occurrence of an element, while CLASS can be attached to any number of elements.
3. What is CSS Grouping?
When more than one selector shares the same declaration, they may be grouped together via a comma-separated list; this allows you to reduce the size of the CSS
4. What are Child Selectors?
A child selector is used when you want to match an element that is the child of another specific element.
(div > p {font-size: 13px;})
5. What are Pseudo Classes?

Pseudo classes allow you to identify HTML elements on characteristics as opposed to their name or attributes.
a:link,
a:visited,
a:hover
6. What is the CSS Box Model?
CSS box model is made up of margins, borders, padding, and content.
Box model provides a structured way to space elements in relationship to each other.
7. What is the difference between inline and block elements?
A block element is an element that takes up the full width available, and has a line break before and after it. For example: h1, p and div.
An inline element only takes up as much width as necessary, or it takes width as per the content inside. It will not accept width and height values, and does not force line breaks. Example: a and span.
8. What is z-index and how is it used? What is the default value of Z-index?
The z-index helps specify the stack order of positioned elements that may overlap one another. The z-indexdefault value is zero, and can take on either a positive or negative number.
9. What is the difference between visibility:hidden and display:none?
visibility:hidden simply hides the element, while it will still take up space and affect the layout of the document.
display:none also hides the element, but will not take up space and the page will appear as if the element is not present.
10. Why shorthand properties are used? Give examples.
Font shorthand property sets all the font properties in one declaration.
.classname {
font:bold 1em/1.2em Arial,"times new roman",serif;
}
Read more about Font Shorthand

11. What are Sass, LESS, and Stylus? Why do people use them? How does something like Compass relate to Sass?

They are CSS preprocessors. They are a special syntax/language that compile down into CSS. They make managing CSS easier, with things like variables and mixins to handle vendor prefixes (among other things). They make doing best practices easier, like concatenating and compressing CSS.
12. What are the various techniques for clearing floats?
Use a clearfix.
Float the parent as well.
Use an overflow property other than “visible” on the parent (bonus points for listing downsides like cutting off shadows).
13. What are sprites and why would use them? How do you go about creating them? What are possible alternatives to sprites?
Sprites are essentially multiple images combined into one. Performance is the reason that they are used. HTTP requests will be reduced which will result in faster loading of the pages.
Use online tools, Photoshop (Takes time), Spriting with Compass
14. What do you mean by responsive design?
It’s about making websites work on different platforms/devices. Different devices with different sizes and different capabilities. Responsive design is about taking one code base and making it work for all of them. Media queries used for achieving this.
15. What is the difference between CSS and CSS3 ?
CSS3 is upgreaded version of CSS with new future like Selectors,Box Model, gradient backgrounds, multiple background, Text Effects,2D/3D Transformations, Animations, Multiple Column Layout etc…
16. How to create Rounded Corners using css3? Give example

div{
border:2px solid #ff0000;
border-radius:25px;
-moz-border-radius:25px; /* Firefox */
-webkit-border-radius:25px; /* Chrome and Safari */
}
-o-border-radius:25px; /* Opera */

17. What is the CSS3 background size Property? How to use it?

The background-size property specifies the size of the background image.
.myClass {
background:url(background.jpg);
-moz-background-size:80px 60px; /* Firefox 3.6 */
background-size:80px 60px; /* or we can do background-size:100% 100%;*/
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

18. What is the word wrap in CSS3 ?


To Allow long words to be able to break and wrap onto the next line in css3 we used word-wrap property like below class
.wordwrappcds{word-wrap:break-word;}

19. What CSS3 box-sizing Property?

The box-sizing property is used to tell the browser what the sizing properties (width and height) should include. box-sizing to “border-box” forces the browser to render the box with the specified width and height, and place the border and padding inside the box.
20. What is CSS3 backface-visibility Property?
The backface-visibility property defines whether or not an element should be visible when not facing the screen.This property is useful when an element is rotated, and you do not want to see its backside.

On Monday, Google announced that they've updated how the Google AdWords reporting shows the Quality Score for your keywords.


Google made it clear that the change will only affects the numbers you’ll see in AdWords, not the way quality score is calculated or the ad auction.
Google explains the reason for the update:
“Behind the scenes, this change will allow us to simplify some of our core systems, letting us focus our attention on improving reporting accuracy for keywords with traffic.”
The most visible change to the reporting is that before they receive traffic, keywords will now default to a reported score of 6. Scores will update when enough impressions accumulate in a day or so.
Google last updated AdWords quality score reporting in July 2013.

1. Stop looking for Source codes, templates, snippets.


Lots of people waste too much time to get source codes of this and that here and there. Actually they loose the focus on becoming a coder.

 m2soft solutions
To naturally improve your skills, take some time and focus on how to code your own code. you will a definite improvement in short time.

It doesn't mean that you will never use third party software, you will. But when you use it you should be able to know and understand what you are using. Otherwise it's like you are swimming in an ocean of source codes without actually having one in your head. So every time you need the same code you go through the same process starting by googling, finding the right resource(if it exists again), how did you manage to use it previously, etc.

Solving problems should become an habit in you, not a string of tedious and cyclic tasks. Just take some little moment and focus on what exactly is in the code how can I also code like the way gurus do.

2. Turn off your social media notifications, or never log in


This is a very important thing to do when you need to focus in this new world. Social media can cost you the whole day. Notifications, messages, comments, likes, followers, etc are things that drag your attention in deep waste of time. Though they are fun, or even help you make new clients and opportunities. Consider this as a charity action to yourself for a week. Turn them off or lower and be less social.

3. Look for simple and practical tutorials on PHP

List what you don't know yet and need to know to put your knowledge in line, and make it straight.
Look for some simple and practical tutorials on those topics. Usually take some 2 or 3 tutorials from different website on the same topic. Check the most popular tutorials on the topics. Compare them, and make sure to combine what you learn from each one.

4. Follow some famous people or groups


There are some icons in the field. Use them as your TV channels to have news and updates. By following them it's an opportunity to see what people have been doing with the language. That way you are giving some vim to your mind so that it doesn't limit itself to little things. People like Josh LockhartPhil SturgeonTaylor Otwell, etc.

look for some cool forums to join. That will help ask any question at any time and get fast answers. Since it's a forum, many people will react to your problems which gives you the chance to have a correct and valid answer. This forums can also help you make new friends who aspire at coding like you.
Check out following forums:Dev Network Developer ShedPHP freaksCoding Forums, etc. Just google for more of them.

5. Read about good practices

This is important in putting your knowledge in clear. Sometimes you wonder what are things or levels in PHP. What is higher than what? What is the latest thing to learn? In which order to learn? etc. These are questions that usually disturb.

You can start by looking at php the right way, then go to the PHP manual to lean each step. After that you can have a look at the PHP-FIG (PHP Framework Interop Group) to learn how to write clean code.

6. Create a real(your dream) project,like a blog, an e-commerce website, etc.


At this level you need to close your eyes and do some little things on your own. Try yourself with the PHP CRUD tutorial.
Now Give yourself an assignment. Choose any application/website you dream of creating for long time. Take it from the start to the end. Every time you have an issue review your tutorials or ask a question on one of the forums you joined. Never leave something behind. Complete each step at any coast.
Usually, creating such projects will take you through all main steps of creating a PHP application. That will also help you to discover and follow your own workflow what will help you to know how to handle an entire project from the beginning to the end. It will also develop in your the spirit of endeavor.
From there you can go back to php the right way and see what are other levels you can reach. It's really a great reference in terms of how to organize your learning curve.

7. Try teaching someone all you've learnt


I usually say: Helping helps. After all this you should be able to transmit what your know to someone else. But you may not even know what you actually know. The best way to make that clear is to try. Look for a friend, try to give him a clean tutorial on how to create the application you just did. You can also decide to give him back what you learnt from the tutorials you used on yourself.
And if you can't find a friend to try on, you can try to give a tutorial on PHPOcean. We have an entire audience waiting for you. Since our philosophy is to help all programmers of all levels to improve their skills through teaching and practices. After all you will necessary learn, because people will give you a feedback on your tutorial; so the learning continues.
With that you will have a clear idea on what you know and what you don't know. You will discover your levels of understanding of each concept. And obviously you will take considerable decisions which are how to fix your lacuna.

8. Make a self-review and keep the habit


After that, take some few hours to review your performance during this training. How fast do you learn, what were the traps and difficulties you faced, and how could you get rid of them so that you will have more clear mind to learn? What tools and resources could you need for your next round on that, etc, and grade your performance.

Make a grid of all this metrics and get it clear for your next learning schedule.
