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!

ColdFusion Select Box (Dropdown Box) Value -- Won't select the right value.

Asked by tmangoldcpa in ColdFusion Application Server, ColdFusion Studio

Tags: coldfusion, select, box

I have a table displaying several records.  I’m trying to display one of the fields, “TemplateID”, in a select box, but I’m unable to force the correct value into the select box for each record.  The first select box displays the correct value (i.e. the value of TemplateID in the first record), however, all subsequent records display the same value as the first record.

The select boxes are dynamically named to avoid naming conflicts.  I *am* able to force different values into each select box if I equate the TemplateID value to #ServiceItem.CurrentRow#, but of course, that’s just diagnostic, not exactly helpful.  I’ve ensured that each value of TemplateID does in fact exist in the select box’s option list.

I’ve been battling this problem for several days – a solution will be VERY APPRECIATED!

CFML and HTML Source is below.

Thanks in advance to the genius who solves this headache!
