Will you post real answers to these? :)
Q1: 3
Q2: 2
Q3: 3
Q4: 1 – pretty sure its .
Q5: I think it’s 2, because I know 1 and 3 are possible for sure, and I remember I have trouble doing 100% div height before.
Q6: 3
Q7: 2 – pretty sure Transitional lets thru font tags. (1 should be

though)
Q8: no idea, I’m guessing it’s 1, because tabs is browser-specific, and animating is pointless (JS for behavior).
Q9: I think it’s 2?
Q10: no idea, guessing 3..

@Jason: "ex" is a valid unit. CSS Units.

Q10 – you either want ‘px’ or ‘em’, not ‘en’ or ‘ex’

@Henrik: Chaning = Changing… are you going to correct my spelling in the comments? :)

Q5: No, setting scrollbars is NOT possible using “W3C’s CSS2″. It’s possible using IE only code though.

Q7: that spelling error rules out 1) but the question is still correct.

Q8: don’t be silly :) tabs will never be controlled from the CSS.

Q9: Read the question again. CSS2 is not CSS2.1

Q10: True, should be ex… fixing.

Emil: Do you mean “address” instead of “adress”? Otherwhise – what does adress mean?

What does: “Q5: stupid me, a NOT too much there. Chaning.” – “Chaning” mean?

Question five: all of them. Scrollbars in IE, make div height to 100% and change the “line-height” property.

Why wouldn’t “display: inline-block” be valid CSS?

Question ten: 2 and 3. There is no unit “en”.

Question eight: really number one? I’ve heard some stuff about tabs as well though.

@Teddy: Thanks for you comments.

Q4: you’re absolutely right, My idea here was that 1 should be the answer and abbr misspelled but I should have read up on the definitions first. I’ll change that right away.

Q5: stupid me, a NOT too much there. Chaning.

Q7: I’m right on that one though. No NOT in that question.

[Editor: updated quiz to reflect errors]

Q1. 3
Q2. 2
Q3. 3

Q4. 2 (abbr, not abr). And it’s important to remember that IE doesn’t support that element so you’ll need some kind of work around for it.

Q5. Uhm, well. Styling the browser scrollbar can’t be done with CSS, and giving a 100% height on a element doesn’t work either. So both 1 & 2.

Q6. 3

Q7. It’ll surely not let nr 1 pass since it’s spelled wrong. But I guess you meant nr 3 since it’s badly structured.

Q8. 1
Q9. 2
Q10. 3 (waiting for css3…)

Nice quiz, even though there are some errors.

I’m pretty sure I know them all except the: ‘certain word is short for something longer,’ … I said because I thought acronym was a property of other elements… am I right?
