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!

Tableless Page Layout Using DIV tags

Asked by SiriusPhil in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags: div, using, layout, tableless, page

I want to have a page layout that gives me a header section that spands 100% of the width, then a three-column section below the header.  The first column is 130px fixed width.  The second column is variable width.  This is where the core content will go.  The third column is an ad column fiixed at 130 px and aligns to the right side of the page.  The next section that spans below these three columns is the footer section.

Tha page needs to fill the browser window so the content section needs to expand and contract to accomodate the two fixed width columns

Is this possible?  I know how to do it with a fixed width page.  Now, I'm having a problem figuring out how to create the second and third columns in the second row.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
