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!

Need to get tabs to work in a mootools slider that i developed.

Asked by l_mcnamara in JavaScript, Scripting Languages, JavaScript Frameworks

Tags: , ,

I've constructed a slider which activates when a href is clicked by the user.  It slides in from the bottom of the page with slight animation.
I need to get a tab system working within this slider.  So far i've had no luck.

Interestingly the tabs will work outside of the slider but as soon as I place the tabs inside the slider div, they won't work.

Please take a look at the url i provided for a (kind of) working sample - you'll see what i want to achieve:
