Everything Grade 12 CAT learners need for the Web Development
section of Paper 1, coded live and explained tag by tag ahead of
the 2026 Prelims.
HTML carries about 15 of the 150 marks in the practical paper.
It's the smallest section — and the one where learners most often
score zero, because the code either runs or it doesn't. There's no
part credit for an idea that nearly worked.
Across the series we cover:
- Page structure: html, head, title and body
- Headings, paragraphs, line breaks and horizontal rules
- Text formatting tags, including the underline tag
- Ordered and unordered lists, list types and nesting
- Images: src, width, height, alt and alignment
- Hyperlinks — to websites, e-mail addresses, files and bookmarks
- Tables: rows, cells, headings, colspan, rowspan and borders
- Reading and debugging broken code supplied in the exam
- How to use the HTML tag sheet properly under exam pressure
One critical exam rule: HTML must be answered in a text editor
such as Notepad++. Any HTML question answered in a word processor
or a web design tool will NOT be marked. We work in Notepad++
throughout so you build the right habit now.
Open the data files and code along with us — pause, type it
yourself, and refresh the browser to check before moving on.
