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!

help with css styling of asp:Menu items

Asked by ottenm in Programming for ASP.NET, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

The following is a 2-level asp:Menu control (ASP.NET 2.0) I'm using as a popup nav menu.

<asp:Menu ID="menu1" runat="server" Orientation="vertical" Visible="true"
    StaticDisplayLevels="1" StaticSubMenuIndent="0"
    Style="visibility:hidden; position:absolute; left:12px; z-index:10001;">
       <DynamicMenuItemStyle CssClass="menu_item" />
       <DynamicSelectedStyle CssClass="menu_item" />
       <StaticMenuItemStyle CssClass="menu_item" />
       <StaticSelectedStyle CssClass="menu_item" />
       <StaticHoverStyle CssClass="menu_hover" />
       <DynamicHoverStyle CssClass="menu_hover" />
</asp:Menu>

I add and remove items from the menu as follows:
        menu1.Items.Add(New MenuItem("TopItem", "", "", "Top.aspx"))
        Dim mWithSub As New MenuItem("TopItem2", "", "", "Top2.aspx")
        mWithSub.ChildItems.Add(New MenuItem("Sub", "", "", "Sub.aspx"))
        menu1.Items.Add(mWithSub)

All is working, except for some of the styling.  1) I'd like to get rid of the little ">"s that indicate there is a sub-menu.  I'd rather just have the sub-menus display when the user hovers over the parent item.  2) For the life of me I can't get the hyperlinks to style using CSS, they keep defaulting to plain/default anchors (blue text, underlined, and then magenta'ed on hover).  I'd like them to display using the CSS colors below, and no underline.  And finally, 3) Despite z-index values *way* above anything else on the page, the sub-menu items keep displaying underneath other controls.

The CSS I'm using is as follows:

      .menu_item { display:block; text-decoration:none; text-align:center;
            z-index:10001; color:#008394; border:1px solid #682c00;
            background:#e2f7fa; font: 12px Verdana; width:160px;  }
      .menu_hover { color:#fff; background:#008394; z-index:10001; }
