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!

Disabled submit button doesn't reset on back button on firefox and safari

Asked by PhillipsWellness in JavaScript

Tags: , , , ,

Hi,

I'm having trouble with a submit button that is being disabled on a search form not showing up as re-enabled if the user clicks back.  This only happens in Firefox & Safari.  On IE, when the user hits BACK, they see the button in it's original state (not in its disabled state).

Here is code you can test:

Filename:  test.htm
Code:

<script>
function doLoad() {
myForm.submit_button.value = 'Searching...'
myForm.submit_button.disabled = true;
}
</script>
<form action="test2.htm" name="myForm" onSubmit="doLoad();" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="submit_button" value="Search" />
</form>

Filename:  test2.htm
code:
This is my test results page.<br />
<br />
<a href="javascript:history.go(-1);">Click Here</a> to go back.

It seems it could be an issue with how firefox & safari handle the cache and history.  My desired result is that when the user clicks BACK (or we do a history.go(-1)) on the resulting page, that when the browser goes back, they see an ENABLED button that says 'Search' and not the DISABLED button that still says 'Searching...'.  This is how it functions on IE.

Thanks in adavnce for your help!

Sincerely,
