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!

Basic Layout Advice

Asked by Diablo84 in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Tags: layout, basic, div

I have just put together a simple layout which should resemble something like this:
________________
|  ______________|
| |     |                 |
| |     |                 |
| |     |                 |
| |     |                 |
| |___|__________|
|_______________|

My current code has a problem with the left border on the body container... it doesn't show.

I would greatly appreciate any advice pointing me towards a better approach for this type of layout... i have currently used extra DIVs within the container DIVs to avoid any problems with the width of the fluid layout, i'm not sure that this is the best way to go.

I spend most of my time working with Server Side Scripting so my Client Side knowledge is not quite up to scratch.

Current HTML/CSS below:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
body,div {
      margin: 0;
      font: 10px Verdana;
}
#header  {
      width: 100%;
      height: 30px;
      background-color: #B2BABF;
      font-weight: bold;
}
#main {
      border-left: 20px solid #B2BABF;
}
#left {
      float: left;
      width: 20%;
      background-color: #EEE;
}
#right {
      float: left;
      width: 80%;
      background-color: #DDD;
}
#footer {
      clear: both;
      width: 100%;
      height: 30px;
      background-color: #B2BABF;
}
.content {
      padding: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="header">
 <div class="content">Header</div>
</div>

<div id="main">

 <div id="left">
  <div class="content">
 
left<br>
left<br>
left<br>
left<br>

  </div>
 </div>

 <div id="right">
  <div class="content">
 
right<br>
right<br>
right<br>
right<br>

  </div>
 </div>

</div>

<div id="footer">
 <div class="content">footer</div>
</div>

</body>
</html>
