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!

How do I create a Dropdown Menu that calls a second hidden dropdown menu or text field.

Asked by Northlight007 in JavaScript, New to Java Programming

Tags: Javascript, HTML, Safari, IE, Mozilla

Hi,
I'm trying to create a dropdown menu which calls a hidden dropdown menu or textfield based on a selection. I have gotten one hidden dropdown to appear, but need to know how to create multiple choices. When the visitor chooses "Other" I would like a text box to appear. Also if possible I would like the form to be sent to a different person dependent on the first drop down menu choice. I have attached code below for how I have been doing it thus far. I don't have any experience with databases, so  if there is a Java/HTML solution I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
