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 positioning problem and browser compatibility issue (files provided)

Asked by Roba122 in Adobe Dreamweaver

Tags: dreamweaver, compatibility

I have jut begun to build a new sit e using CSS this is the first time doing so for me. Previously I did everything in tables and I have to say this is  a bugger to figure out for the first time.     So I have a external style sheet and my main page (right now index2.html)  

firstly it is a 3 column layout. Dreaweaver is butchering the layout any time I put any content inside the main sections and if I put anything in the "menu div" text appears OUTSIDE of the conatiner its in when the page is rendered. I dont know how that even works.  So the layout is as follows:

A main container "wrapper". This is used to center everything in the page.  Inside wrapper is "pghead"  (this contains a header image)  then below is "nav" which will hold page specific navigation. Then below those are the 3 columns for the layout.  First "menu" which will hold global navigation for the site. then "content" which will hold the main content and finally "rtbox" which will hold random news etc.

then a copyright notice "copynote" and a footer "footer"  all at the bottom. So the first issue is that the page looks nothing like the rendered page in dream weaver, I can live with that but its making it damn hard to lay this thing out as it keeps moving and never looks the same when rendered.  

Next is cross browser compatibiltiy I've got it just about looking right WITHOUT any content inside on explorer 6 but when I render it in Firefox its all off plus one of the photos doesnt load



You can see the page here

www.floridarangers.com/testing/index2.html

the css is available as a text file here
(the real file has the appropriate .css extension)

www.floridarangers.com/testing/floridarangers.txt

To answer this question:
1.  I validated the css and the html, but stuff is still wrong, so tell me If I missed something
2.  A short discussion on positioning behavior of Divs in Dreamweaver, any way to approach my layout differently but get the same result?(see the css)
3.  Firefox issue whats causing it what do I do to fix it? or is it explorer?

Any other information would be appreciated.

Thank you
