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.

Using history.back(), history.forward(), history.go(), and history.length

Asked by mfreeman2 in Miscellaneous Web Development

Hello,

I am developing an application that requires navigation to previous and next pages to answer questions on those pages via a form (for example, like an install wizard). I have discovered that the history functions will allow me to do navigation. I would like to do the following:

If I am on a page that has history in front of it (i.e it is not the last page in history), I want to navigate to the next page in history (history.forward()). If I am on a page that does not have history in front of it (i.e. it is the last page in history) I want to submit to the next page via the current page's form action attribute.

Therefore I need to know "How can I tell whether the page I am currently on is the last page in history or not".
By knowing that I can implement the functionality by putting a "next" button on the current page with code somewhat like the following:

< cfIf (the current page is the last page in history)>
<cfinput name="submit" type="submit" value="Next"> 
<cf else> 
<cfinput name="mybutton" type="button" value="Next" onclick="history.forward()">
</cfif>

So again my question: How can I tell whether the current page is the last page in history or not.
