The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Text and Tables spill out of containers

Asked by wreed06 in Web Development, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags: HTML CSS, Firefox IE Safari

I have 3 left-floated images.  Then I have a table I want to place on top of the middle image.  I can do that making the table a float using negative margins.  Here's my problem:  If the user uses ctrl + to make the screen bigger, the table spills out of that middle image onto the 3 image and even off the main portion of my page.  None of the image spill.  I've used percents for the image widths.  Widths don't seem to make any difference on the table or the rows and columns.  

I have two questions:

1.  How can I keep the table within the limits of my middle image?  Attached is a picture of how I want the table to always stay and a picture of what it looks like if I use ctrl + to make the screen bigger.  Also is the HTML code I'm using for the table.  I won't keep the border around the table.

2.  I also have spill over with text.  I've attached a picture of how I always want the text to look like (size wise), and what the spillover looks like if I use crtl +.  How can I keep text in container no matter how many times crtl + is used?
