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!

Popup Window That Resizes To Image Dimensions For Enlarged Image View (w/ Click To Close)

Asked by thyros in JavaScript, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Is there a solution that enables a normal img thumbnail link which would normally open in a new full size window (without script) but with javascript enabled it opens the linked image in a new popup window (like lightbox but not in-screen) and the window dimensions are resized to accommodate the image width and height exactly, with no extra scrollbars or toolbars etc.  As a further touch, clicking anywhere on the image closes the window.

For example, I have seen a rough and crude example of the desired effect at the following page;

http://demos.creloaded.com/creloaded62pro/product_info.php?cPath=1_4&products_id=1
(if you scroll down the page there is a series of thumbnails which link to bigger images)

Preferably, like the lightbox script the solution is not intrusive, i.e. the html code just links to an enlarged image url with a target="_blank" and perhaps a special class="popup", and the javascript looks for the link with the special class and causes it to popup in resized window, but with javascript disabled it just opens a new full size window with the linked image as normal.  Anyhow, our main priority first would be to get a script that resizes the popup to the image dimensions (without us actually supplying the dimensions since they vary greatly).

Also, I am open to ideas and suggestions on other ways of offering enlarged image views that are most user-friendly.
