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!

POINTS  INCREASED and question simplified! ASP Validate.

Asked by champ_010 in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: e_mail, field, function, validate

O.K., since I haven't received any scripts, I've simplified this question from the original (see below). Nevermind the hidden forms that appear--I've gotten rid of them, there is only one form now.  How about a standard ASP validation script that will validate the text fields (email requiring "@" and numbers like phone number and ID number required to be numbers).  Please write the error messages to a seperate page.  Else if everything is alright--Response.write the selected radio button, the selected in dropdown list 1 and 2, and of course the contents of text fields and dropdown lists (birthdate, Dep No.).

Sorry for the hassel, points have been increased for a speedy response.  Yes please use the ASP sample below for preferred format--changing anything that makes more sense.

Points are for a script that once I load to a server along with my HTML page, should run. (Yes I will have to look into getting a hold of IIS).

Thanks.

Here is the new version of the form to be validated:

**********PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE QUESTION************

Here is a  form where the first three choices made by the user from radio buttons and drop-down menus, makes another form appear below using JavaScript.

The form above obviously doesn't need to be validated, but the second form that appears, needs to be validated.

Can someone please provide an ASP script that will perform validation on whichever form is chosen to appear below the main form--including the error messages  when necessary pertinant to that form if and when chosen.
(I have included an example of the coding style I started to write).

I don't have server on my own computer and therefore unable to write and test ASP and am in a real bind at the moment!  Points awarded to the script that validates the form(s) below when I take it to a borrowed computer as soon as I receive any replies.

Thank you in advance for helping.
