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!

moving an element to a certain position on the screen

Asked by brunobear in JavaScript

Tags: screen, element, position

Hi folks,

I have a div with the id of "uploading" - my CSS sets this div to display : none.

Upon submitting a form, I'd like to show the div and make it display in the center of screen.  I'm having trouble figuring out how to make it display in the center of the screen.

this is my attempt at what i want...

            var uploading = document.getElementById('uploading');

                  var ypos = 0;
                  var xpos = 0;
                  if (window.pageYOffset) {
                    ypos = window.pageYOffset;
                    xpos = window.pageXOffset;
                  }
                  else {
                    ypos = document.documentElement.scrollTop;
                    xpos = document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
                  }
   
                  var top = ypos + (screen.availHeight/2) - 200;
                  var left = xpos + (screen.availWidth/2) - 150;
                  uploading.style.top = top + "px";
                  uploading.style.left = left + "px";
                  uploading.style.display = "block";

two questions - is there nothing that will work cross browser without the first if statement?

and in these two lines:

                  var top = ypos + (screen.availHeight/2) - 200;
                  var left = xpos + (screen.availWidth/2) - 150;

is there a way to dynamically get the width and height of the element?  I tried uploading.style.width and height but it didn't return anything....

please help!

thanks!
