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 you convert an Infopath form to XML web and vice versa

Asked by taylort2 in Infopath, Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT), Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Tags: Infopath, XML, XSLT

I have an Infopath created XML file that needs to work on a website and in Infopath.

Some users have infopath and some do not.  This wasn't a problem until other users who didn't have infopath needed to enter in data.  Easy solution was to get those users infopath but they will not be getting it.  So the solution was to use the XML generated file on a website.  The website would be the GUI.  

One of the problem is that I am just learning XML so it's a bit tough especially with microsoft tags in the headings.  I am not sure how to work with those.

Another problem I notice is that the Infopath generated tags are ALL unique.  (see code fragment below)

The original infopath form contains validations, text boxes, drop-down boxes, options, selections, and calendars pop-ups.

The users should be able to enter in data in either Infopath or via the web then send the XML generated file to another who would be using infopath or web to enter in additional data.

Does anyone know of any resources that can help with this?

Thanks in advance.
