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!

Horizontal scrollbar not appearing in a DIV

Asked by bgibbsjr in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Tags: div, scrollbar, appearing, horizontal

I am attempting to create a table containing two cells, with each cell containing a scrollable DIV that sizes to 100% of the cell.  The DIVs will contain content that may be wider than the DIV so they will need horizontal scrollbars.  The table must also be able to be set to a fixed size or a percentage.  I am running into a problem where the DIVs size correctly to the cells, but only a vertical scrollbar appears for content within the DIVs that is clearly larger than the DIV in both height and width.  I am currently running IE6 on XP and have the same problem in IE6 on Win2000.  At the moment, I am only concerned with this working in IE5.5 and IE6.0.  Example HTML:

<table border=1 style="table-layout: fixed; width: 100%; height: 50%;">
<tr>
    <td style="width: 50%">cell 1
        <div style="background-color: red; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow-x: scroll; overflow-y: scroll;">cell 1 div 1
            <div style="width: 500px; height: 500px; background-color: gray">cell 1 div 1 div 1
            </div>
        </div>
    </td>
    <td style="width: 50%">cell 2
        <div style="background-color: blue; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: scroll;">cell 2 div 1
            <table border=1 style="table-layout: fixed; width: 600; height: 500; background-color: green;">
            <tr>
                <td style="width: 300px">cell 2 div 1 table 1 cell 1</td>
                <td style="width: 300px">cell 2 div 1 table 1 cell 2</td>
            </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
