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!

Best Method -linking to divs- From other pages, from inside layers, from links on same page

Asked by jjayzin in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Tags: divs, linking

Hello everyone,
Quite desperate here as I have come to quite a few dead ends. I am going to actually try to post as little code as possible as to not influence the question and "fix" my code - yet reprogram it efficiently.

What I have:
1) Many pages, dynamically created through coldfusion and static content alike - in similair .cfm pages.
2) All content "chunks" broken up in div's with their own ID's

What I need:
1) To make an http call to a completely seperate page and show the relevant DIV -
2) To use a named anchor or similair to link from the same page the div is on - to display the appropriate section.
3) I NEED this to work in IE 5+ and Netscrap 6+ or at least 7.
4) Somehow in IE to send ID information and have layer act accordingly - (currently I have it so IE works perfect except when linking from other pages. IE seems to ignore the #section1 reference at the edn of the URL - additionally seems to require the ID.

At this point I have spent days adjusting and tweaking to the point where I am lucky if I remember my name.
The basic page code structure is as this - If I can't keep so be it.. but here is how I currenlty have the divs....

SAMPLE URL that WORKS exactly as I NEED in IE
http://64.234.202.15/InpatientProviders/InpatientManagementSystems.cfm
I need to make that URL work in Netscape and to be able to send over through a URL information to have the page display that div first.

----------sample code SNIppet as output by coldfusion ----------
<!-- layers that control  scrolling and layout 2 start tags--->
<div id="divScrollTextCont">
<div id="divText">

<div id="section1">
<span class="GenTextSubHeader">First Section Heading</span>
<div id="Features1" class="FeaturesDiv">
     
<!-- Grouped OUTPUT here -->
CONTENT STRIPED OUT _ WOULD DISPLAY HERE
</div>
</div>

<div id="section2">
<span class="GenTextSubHeader">Second Section Heading</span>
     <div id="Features2" class="FeaturesDiv">
     
<!-- Grouped OUTPUT here -->
CONTENT STRIPED OUT _ WOULD DISPLAY HERE
</div>
</div>
<!-- layers that control  scrolling and layout 2 end div tags--->
</div>
</div>


A SAMPLE piece of CSS that controls the layers are like so - the 2 start tags is like so
-----------snip---------
#divScrollTextCont {
overflow:auto;
position:relative;
width:400px;
height:245px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
z-index:2;
}
#divText {
position:relative;
left:0px;
top:0px;
z-index:3;
}
