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!

Using CSS to format a radio button and its label

Asked by Psychotext in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Tags: , , , ,

I have some CSS code that I've used to format a radiobutton and its label.  I have been using this code to ensure that the label for the radio button doesn't wrap under it if it is shown on multiple lines.  There are two problems with this code.  One is that the radiobuttons and text are vertically aligned in the middle of the table cell.  This means that if there are more lines in one label than another in the row; the radiobuttons are no longer aligned.  The second problem is setting the width.  If I leave this blank, all the table columns end up squashed to the left.  I'm not particularly worried about working out this size, but I am concerned with the sizes working out differently in different browsers.

The code I have been using is below.  Please note that I cannot change the table format as it is output automatically by a system I can't change. I have full access to change stylesheets.  Thanks in advance.

     <style type="text/css">
           #rblist label {
               display:block;
               width:10em;
               float:right;}
                    
           #rblist input {
               display:block;
               float:left;}
     </style>

      <table id="rblist">
            <tr>
                  <td><input id="rblist_0" type="radio" name="rblist" value="1" /><label for="rblist_0">Long Text 1</label></td>
                  <td><input id="rblist_1" type="radio" name="rblist" value="2" /><label for="rblist_1">Long Text 2</label></td>
                  <td><input id="rblist_2" type="radio" name="rblist" value="3" /><label for="rblist_2">Long Text 3</label></td>
            </tr>
