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!

jquery for each loop

Asked by newbie27 in JavaScript

Tags:

Hello Experts,
I am trying to implement list manager using jquery, so far i have managed to create a short list by allowing users to add or remove items with the animation. I am attaching both the screenshot and jquery code, hopefully it may make sense looking at it.
I need couple of more things in it and I am completely stuck as it is proving to be difficult to add or delete all lists at once, i learnt that there is for each loop in jquery but dont know how to use it.
I will add a separate question for my other few issues, please can someone assist me in this?
your help is much appreciated.
regards
