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!

Javascript: New Line Character in TextArea

Asked by gkinu in JavaScript

I have a text area form object. I enter details into it and create a number of lines of text by pressing "Enter".

In an onclick event for one of the buttons i want all the new line characters in the text area to be replaced by another set of characters say "ppp". I use the replace function as follows

NameOfTextArea.value.replace("\n","***");

When i output the result in an alert message, it show it only works for the first line.

E.g.

If I type the following in the textarea:-

aaa
bbb
ccc


The output in the alert message in firefox is:
aaa***bbb
ccc

AND as for IE it is

aaa
***bbb
ccc


But I would expect output like aaa***bbb***ccc

Please advise ...
