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!

height of nested tables in a rowspan construct IE vs. NS7

Asked by jastroem in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Tags: height, rowspan, ie, table, nested

Hi

In a complex table construct (it's a dynamically generated calendar) i'm using differrent rowspans to display overlapping events in a daily view.
each "eventBox" is filled with a table that i stretch to 100% height by adding:

- 100% height to the rowspanned TD where the table is nested
- 100% heigth to the nested table
- 100% height to the content TD in the nested table

this works just great for IE on PC and mac.

on safari it's only to forget about having the tables stretched, but i really thought that it should work on NS 7.1...

what i get on NS is a very strange display where one (and sometimes two) of the nested tables stretches up to the 100% height, the rest of the nested tables just stays in the height they get from the content.

it could be solved by adding a pixel height to the nested table - unconvienient since i the need to dynamically calctulate the each tables heigt based on the actual rowspan...

and...
i must put the content in a nested table because of the complexity like:
category colored vertical bars, arrows pointing up or/and down

the page looks just perfect in IE:

is there a solution to make the tables streching properly to 100% on Netscape?
