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!

Word Wrap on Form Input ( textarea )

Asked by adam_cpng in CGI Scripting

Tags: input, textarea, word, wrap

 
  I have a form with input type as textarea which can contain up to 10 rows of 78 chars message. I key in the message without break/hard return. Afer submit, I get the param'message');. After I write it to a file (newfile.txt text files format ). Open with notepad/wordpad. I found out the output does not have a hard return instead the text editor treat the whole message as one line. However, I read from a lot of sources. If I do this <textarea name="message" wrap="physical" rows="10" cols="78"></textarea>. The option wrap="physical" should add a hard return at the wrap point ( 78 chars ).However, it does not work as well.

  Anyone can help me on that?

Finding : 1. of cos' if i type the messages with hard return in every 78 char, after submit, I will get a message with hard return each line.

          2. I want user to type everything without keyin return;however, at the end, I can see the "return" at every end of line ( ie. roughly 78 chars ).


<form ... >

<textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="78"></textarea></p>
</form>
