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!

conditional in place editing ?

Asked by n00b0101 in JavaScript, PHP Scripting Language

Tags:

So, I'm using smarty templates for my site, and I'm incorporating ajax for some in place editing.  This is the problem. A student may be taking anywhere from four to seven classes.  Those classes are displayed as bullets.  But this area is also editable.  So, I need it to display 7 input boxes (preceded by a bullet point) after the user clicks edit, but not display the bullet point if no text exists.  So, it should look like this on page load:

* Class 1
* Class 2
* Class 3

And if the user clicks edit (assume the brackets are input box):

* [ Class 1 ]
* [ Class 2 ]
* [ Class 3 ]
* [              ]
* [              ]
* [              ]
* [              ]

I can't seem to get the bullet to display for all seven input boxes, but go away if it's empty on display.  

This is from my tpl file:

<ul>
{if $classes[0] != ""}<li id="cl1">{$classes[0]}</li>{else}<li id="cl1"></li>{/if}
{if $classes[1] != ""}<li id="cl2">{$classes[1]}</li>{else}<li id="cl2"></li>{/if}
{if $classes[2] != ""}<li id="cl3">{$classes[2]}</li>{else}<li id="cl3"></li>{/if}
{if $classes[3] != ""}<li id="cl4">{$classes[3]}</li>{else}<li id="cl4"></li>{/if}
{if $classes[4] != ""}<li id="cl5">{$classes[4]}</li>{else}<li id="cl5"></li>{/if}
{if $classes[5] != ""}<li id="cl6">{$classes[5]}</li>{else}<li id="cl6"></li>{/if}
{if $classes[6] != ""}<li id="cl7">{$classes[6]}</li>{else}<li id="cl7"></li>{/if}
</ul>

<div id="save">
<input type="button" id="editBtnin" value="Edit" onClick="editClasses(1)">
<input type="button" id="saveBtnin" style="visibility:hidden;" value="Save" disabled="disabled" onClick="editClasses(1)">
</div>
