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!

making the font bigger

Asked by jhazard in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Adobe Type Manager, Font Creator

Hi

I've inherited some code and am not familiar with css.  I need the main bit in my document to be font size 12 and am not sure how to do it, can someone please advise.  

I need it to be that size from the bit that says 'Your advert listed here' ...

my stylesheet:
/* CSS Document */
html, body {
      /*font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;*/
      font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
      font-size: 12px;
      /*font-size: 12px;*/
      background-color: #F5F8FA;
      margin: 0px;
      padding: 10px 0px 0px;
      color: #003366;

}
p,td {
      font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
      font-size: 12px;
      color:#003366;
}

/* the white background colour of the main table */
.tablebg {
      background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

/* th is for the table header */
th {
      background-color:#B5C4D2;
      color:#2F567F;
      font-size:14px;
}

/* the background colour of the listings table */
.listingsTable {
      background-color:#F5F8FA;
}

/* The various border styles used throughout the site */
.leftborder {
      border-left:1px solid #B5C4D2;
}

      border-right:1px solid #B5C4D2;
}
.bottomBorder {
      border-bottom:1px solid #B5C4D2;
}

.darkTopBorder {
      border-top:1px solid #003366;
}
.darkBottomBorder {
      border-bottom:1px solid #003366;
}

/* The Style for the main content cell (applies the background image and a 10px padding) */
.mainContent {
      padding:10px;
      background-image: url(../images/bodybg.gif);
      background-repeat: no-repeat;
      background-position: center bottom;
}
