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!

CSS layout with dynamic height and fixed footer at bottom

Asked by DarthSonic in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Tags: ,

I am trying to layout a website with css. In Firefox 3 the layout is working perfectly, but not in IE7 and Opera 9.51. Did not yet try other browsers.

Maybe you can help. When calling the webpage http://www.computeruniverse.net/css/layout_test_1.htm in Firefox 3.0 you will see a perfect version of the layout with fixed footer at the bottom that will npt overlap the content but will move with the browser window (as fas as content begins).

In IE7 the footer is static positioned at the end of the content. Should be as in Firefox 3.0.
