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!

User login with cookies

Asked by bloodtrain in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Hi,

Users can use my site without logging in but users that do login will have access to more features on the site (your basic scenario).

Now, I would like users to enter their username and password to login and there will also be a checkbox to "remember me". The only thing is, it's not too secure that way cause if you type in "javascript:alert(document.cookie);" in the address bar, you will see the username and password.

What I don't understand is: how do web sites remember your login information without displaying your password? is it encrypted or have anything to do with session variables?

I'm using ASP (vbscript) with a mySQL database, well, I'm using Access until I have all the tables setup and then will convert to mySQL.

Basically, my end result is the login system like Experts-Exchange.

Thanks!
