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!

Disabled input faded font issue in IE6

Asked by Matthew_Way in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Internet Explorer Web Browser

Tags: input, disabled, ie6, font, faded

Web application issue displaying disabled fields in IE 6.

We want fields in which no updating is allowed to be displayed with black text on a grey background.
We are using element.disable because it provides the behavior we want.
IE you cant click into the field, pressing tab skips the disabled field.
Problem comes with displaying the field.
With FireFox we can set the text to black and the background to grey just as we want.

Problem is Internet Explorer displays faded text which is hard to read.

I've provided an example bellow.

<html>
<head>
<title>Read only form test</title>
<style>
.noaccess { background-image:url(/images/crosshatch45.png); }
.readonly { background-color:#CCCCCC; color:#000000; }
.readwrite { background-color:#FFFFFF; color:#000000; }
</style>
<script language="javascript">
// The following is actually done with jquery this is just to simulate the same thing
//      var ro = jQuery('.readonly');
//      ro.attr('disabled','disabled');
//
function pageinit(){
      var ro = document.getElementById('readonly');
      ro.disabled=true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="pageinit();">
<form method="post">
readwrite&nbsp;<input type="text" class="readwrite" value="one fish" /><br>
readonly&nbsp;<input id="readonly" type="text" class="readonly" value="two fish" /><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>
