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.

you can use CSS

<td><div style="width:10pt; word-wrap: break-word;"> asldkjf alsdk jfalskasdf asdf asldfja a</div></td>


If you can use serverside
this should work for you

Generally something like this would be called from the onload even of the body tag:

<body onload="formatStr(document.getElementById('thecell'))">

Where the cell is tagged like: <td id="thecell">content</td>

Hi Cd&,
 
Thank You vey much. It's wroking great. I need to do couple of changes in your script.

subsarr=new Array(strbuff.length/15+1) // replaced by
subarr=new Array(parseInt(strbuff.length/15+1))

// because strbuff.length/15+1 results in a floating value and array must have finite integer value. // subsarr replaced by subarr

newstr='';
 startI = 0;
str=''; // declare variable for str otherwise compile error.

 I also modified the above script to make it general

formatStr(EL,maxchars)
maxchars is the no of characters per line or the nth character at which wrapping to be done. Here is the same script

function formatStr(EL,maxchars)
// the EL is the target element passed fron the invokin process in the form:
// maxchars is no of characters per line or the nth character at which text to be wrapped. For Ex At 15th character//
// document.getElementById('idofelement');
{
   strbuff=EL.innerHTML;
// takes the content of the eleemtn and puts it into a string
   newstr='';
   startI = 0;
   max=maxchars;
   str='';
   subarr=new Array(parseInt(strbuff.length/max+1));
// creates an array with a length that will hold all max character segments + the final bit.
// in the earlier versio I was using 7 which is incorrect 15 is the required size
   for (i=0;i<subarr.length;i++)
   {
      // this loop creates max character substrings an put them in anarray
      subarr[i]=strbuff.substr(startI,max);
      startI+=max;
   }
   for (i=0;i<subarr.length-1;i++)
   {
      // this loop creates a new string by concatenating the elements in the array
      // with an HTML line break tag between each segment
      newstr+=subarr[i]+'<br />';
   }
   str+=subarr[subarr.length-1];
     // the final segement is append outside to loop to avoid an extra linefeed
   EL.innerHTML=newstr;
    // the content of the target element is replaced with the new string
}

<body id="body" onload="formatStr(document.getElementById('tdRef1'),15)">
      
    <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<table border=2>
<tr><td id="tdRef1">Refer for other application and contain
</td></tr>
</table>

     </form>
      
  </body>
</HTML>

Hi Cd&,

in continuation to the above I have another question . How to implement the same functionality for a repeater control.

 In my web page I'm using a repeater to display data which consists of table and text in some of the cells to be wrapped

Thanks
Anitha

Just call the function from the event that fires the repeater event handler.

to assign points just click the accept button next to the comment you want to make the answer, and it will bring up the grading screen.
