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.

fading text, delay and change text

Asked by VirusMinus in JavaScript

Tags: text, fade

I have a script that fades text which works in IE and Firefox by changing the opacity of an element.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html>
<head>
<title>Fade Text</title>
<style type="text/css">
</style>
</head>

<body>
<table id="blah"><tr><td>How do i make meat gravy? does anyone have a nice recipie?? </td></tr></table>

<script>
var tme=25
var d=1
var fde=1
var max=100
var min=10
var opac=max

function fade(){
if(d==1){opac+=fde}else{opac-=fde}
if(opac>max || opac<min){if(d==0){d=1}else{d=0}}
document.getElementById("blah").style.filter = "alpha(opacity="+opac+")";
document.getElementById("blah").style.opacity = (opac / 100);

setTimeout('fade()', tme)}
fade()
</script>

</body>
</html>

What I'd like to add to this function is:
1. Pass an array of 5 or more strings (which can contain quotes, semicolons etc.), that it will cycle through on each fade. i.e fade in 1st string and fade out, fade in 2nd string and fade out and so on, and then after the last one, start again at the first.
2. get the text string to stay completely visible for a fixed duration, lets say 10 seconds (so it can be read), before it starts the next fade sequence.
3. in IE the text is funny.. a bit bold. can that be fixed? i tried changing the color of the text via CSS and it appears to have a black outline...
