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!

CSS horizontal streching of width within a container

Asked by baldwin_it in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Tags: css, horizontal, stretch

I have a container called Navbar which has multiple items called buttons. The number of buttons will varie, depending on the number of times its called. I want the buttons to stretch horizontally to fill up the entire NarBar space (horizontal as well). However, with my current CSS, it will only stay on the left, and the width doesnt change. Please help!

I have this CSS code:

#NavBar {
position:relative;
width: 760px;
height:: 32px;
float:left;
margin: 0 0 1px 0;
line-height: 15px;
background-color: #999999;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
}
#NavBar .button {
position:relative;
float: left;
width: auto;
/* min-width:107px !important;
min-width:100px; */
padding: 0 0 2px 0 !important; /* firefox */
padding: 1px 12px 1px 12px;
border-left:thin solid #FFFFFF;
text-align:center;
vertical-align:middle;
height: 30px;
line-height:15px;
background-color: #999999;
margin: 0 auto;
}

#NavBar a {
FONT-SIZE: 14px;
COLOR: #FFFFFF;  
link="#FFFFFF"
vlink="#FFFFFF"
alink="#FFFFFF";
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 15px;
position: relative;
color: #FFFFFF;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align:center;
min-width: 107px;
}

the html file with this part would look like:

  <div id="NavBar">
    <!-- Top Menu links go here -->
    <div class="button"><a href="test1.html">Engineering</a></div>
    <div class="button"><a href="test1.html">Finance & IT</a></div>
    <div class="button"><a href="test1.html">Human<br> Resources</a></div>
    <div class="button"><a href="test1.html">Manufacturing<br> Operations</a></div>
  </div>
