Overview

HackerRank tests support the HTML/CSS/JavaScript questions which are designed to assess candidates' website coding and designing skills. These questions are included in HackerRank Tests for Front-end development roles that involve building dynamic and interactive websites with essential web development skills.

For example, you would be required to design an online shopping cart page with a given set of specifications for the website look-and-feel, accessibility options, and navigation.

In your HackerRank tests, an HTML/CSS/JavaScript Question typically includes a project structure defined by the test setter, and you will be expected to build your web pages on top of it. Some Questions may not include any website project and may require coding for a web page. While answering these questions, click Render to quickly test how your code displays as web pages in a browser.

Modifying the answer

Note: Your test setter may organize the questions across different sections in the Test, and these sections can have specific time limits to complete and submit the answers. In some cases, if the time allocated for a section has elapsed or you have already submitted the answer, you will not be allowed to change the answer submission.
