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!

ASP vbscript form validation for International user input

Asked by BlueKarana in Active Server Pages (ASP), Miscellaneous Web Development, Macromedia Dreamweaver

I have a web site with ASP pages developed using Dreamweaver, containing this header: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Until now I've been blissfully unaware (read "head in the sand") of issues surrounding International use of the website. All content is displayed in English but now we have users coming online from non-US sites, first up, Mexico. (The users apparantly have no trouble displaying the pages.)

My problem is that non-US users are entering data into the page forms and my VBscript form validation function is not trapping invalid characters. The effending characters, most significantly the single quote, slip through my defenses and we run into problems further down the line with other programs that use the data.

So, how do I trap invalid characters from International users?Start Free Trial
