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!

CSS - Select box and its border.

Tags: select, css, box, border
Hello,
I've been searching for a way to disable the select box (<SELECT>) border. I succeed to remove input text borders using "border: 0px solid;" but it seems it doesn't work with SELECT BOX. If its not possible, I'd like to know if anyone knows a workaround to remove them.

Thanks,
RODRIGO.

You cannot change the border of the select box at this time. You can style other aspects of <select>, such as color of the text and background-color, but not the border.

Well you can change the color - in NS7 and Mozilla - but that's it for now...

Isnt there any workaround ?

Not without creating a custom select box in dhtml:

You could actually make the border simply 1px solid with the same colour as the bg of the page and the select box.

Even though it would techinically still have a border, it wouldn't appear visibly to have one.

That won't work I'm afraid... you can't alter the select box border.

Just thought I'd append this suggestion to this post as I think it's worth considering for anyone that finds this page, as I did, by searching for a solution to the same problem.  This is not 100% perfect and could be tweaked to look better, but the idea is certainly there......

  <div style="position:absolute;top:100px;left:150px;width:400px;height:300px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;overflow:hidden;">
    <select size="12" style="position:absolute;width:406px;height:310px;top:-4px;left:-3px;">
      <option>This is option 1</option>
      <option>This is option 2</option>
      <option>This is option 3</option>
      <option>This is option 4</option>
      <option>This is option 5</option>
      <option>This is option 6</option>
      <option>This is option 7</option>
      <option>This is option 8</option>
      <option>This is option 9</option>
      <option>This is option 10</option>
      <option>This is option 11</option>
      <option>This is option 12</option>
      <option>This is option 13</option>
      <option>This is option 14</option>
      <option>This is option 15</option>
      <option>This is option 16</option>
      <option>This is option 17</option>
      <option>This is option 18</option>
      <option>This is option 19</option>
      <option>This is option 20</option>
      <option>This is option 21</option>
      <option>This is option 22</option>
      <option>This is option 23</option>
      <option>This is option 24</option>
      <option>This is option 25</option>
      <option>This is option 26</option>
      <option>This is option 27</option>
    </select>
  </div>


Hope this is useful to people.

This is indeed a very good idea. The only problem I find is having different, apriori unknown, heights/widths for the widget. If only they could be specified in %s...
 
10.12.2005 at 02:43AM PDT, ID: 15067303
Heh - well we know the answer to that, don't we!  Dreaded JavaScript.

Unfortunately, unless you can specifiy the height and width of the <select>, you're right.  I've not seen anything, other than JavaScript, that will do this.  Also, it obviously doesn't work if it's a drop-down style select.

I think we'll have to wait for a foolproof answer to this, and it'll probably be supplied by browser vendors, not us developers.

Glad it's proved useful for someone though.

John.
