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!

A child window closeing another child window?

Asked by Meps in JavaScript

Yea, I know it isn't the best, but was in a hurry to get it to work.

I have a page, user_input.cfm.  That has buttons that opens the same page user_input.cfm without the toolbars and such to make this resizeable and small for the customer.

function opensmall(Qid,shift_name)
{
  var windowX = (window.screen.width-740)/2;
  var windowY = (window.screen.height-550)/2;
  var sendstr = "user_input.cfm?shift=" + Qid + "&shiftname=" + shift_name ;
   temp = window.open(sendstr,"test"," width=1020, height=260,resizable=YES, scrollbars=YES");
  temp.moveTo(windowX,windowY);
}

So now they have the small window open.  Now on this page also has buttons that open another window that does the action, when they click on the page.

function user_insert(Qid,Comments)
{
  var windowX = (window.screen.width-740)/2;
  var windowY = (window.screen.height-550)/2;
  var sendstr = "user_insert.cfm?Qid=" + Qid + "&Comments=" + Comments ;
   inserts = window.open(sendstr,"test"," width=400, height=260,resizable=YES, scrollbars=YES");
  inserts.moveTo(windowX,windowY);
}

The user_insert.cfm page runs the query and closes.  The only problem is it closes both itself, and the page that opened it, the small window.  I just want it to close itself, Not the small window.

<CFQUERY name="main_insert">
INSERT INTO ..........................
</CFQUERY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">      
      self.close();
</SCRIPT>

Help.
So you have a main page(user_input.cfm), small window(user_input.cfm), and the insert page(user_insert.cfm).  But I only want the user_insert.cfm page to close only itself.Start Free Trial
