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!

Fixed header row

Asked by tgatif in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Programming for ASP.NET

Tags: header, fixed

I need to display a large amount of data with a fixed header row. The table needs to scroll vertically and horizontally. Basically, it should behave like this example: http://home.tampabay.rr.com/bmerkey/examples/locked-column-csv.html

I've used the same method as the code in the example, however, what the example lacks is variable width columns. As soon as I set a column width to 50px (for example), the header row stops scrolling horizontally with the data and overflows past the table on the right.

I've looked at several other methods and they're all missing horizontal scrolling or variable width columns.

See the code below, I've stripped the data from the table so when testing, add several more rows to get it to scroll vertically. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
