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!

Adjusting JS Calendar to submit form onclick of a date

Asked by dm404 in JavaScript, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Tags:

HI there,

I'm a little lost.

I have a page that uses a form to select a date, this sets a variable at the top of my page. At the moment I have a textbox that when clicked in shows a javascript calendar. This inputs a date into my textbox field, the user then has to click a button to submit the date.

What I want is for the process to be more streamlined if possible. When the user selects the day on the calendar - I want the form to be submitted. I can't work out how to put this event into JS and HTML? Is it difficult?

I've attached the two relevant parts of my script. JS for the calendar and the HTML form I'm using at the moment.

As an additional request is easy to change the text field to an image as found on http://www.easyjet.com/en/book/index.asp??

Thanks in advance,

Daniel
