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!

DOM methos

Asked by paddykool in Document Object Model, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), JScript

Tags: DOM HTML VBA

Hi all,

I need a some explanation as to what is going in my code and where to get reference documents to  what I'm actually doing!!!

I am using excel VBA to drive a very simple HTML web front-end.
I'm using DOM to extract out the link that I want to click. From the watch I can see that the object 'Resolvelink' is of type Object/HTMLAnchorElement.

Then I do a Resolvelink.Click to click the link

What I want to know is where exactly the method 'Click' comes from?? Where can I get the object reference documentation to find out what other methods / properties I can perform on my HTMLAnchorElement.
What about other HTML elements such as HTMLSelectElement or HTMLInputElement??

All tips, tricks and info greatly appreciated.

And (going out on a limb . . . ) if any one has a better way to code what I have below feel free to tell me!!! :)
