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 Column Structure Not Viewing Correctly

Asked by GuitarFingers in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Internet Explorer Web Browser, Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags: , ,

I have a page located at http://webdev.eskycity.com/nkymls/CA/ that uses xhtml strict. On this page is a table that uses CSS to define td column widths as well as other fornatting attributes. The problem I am having is that one row of the table has two columns that are not displaying at proper width, maybe the better way to word this is that there is a padding or margin that is being added to right hand side. I have highlighted the column on the page with a red background for thos who choose to view it.

Here is the CSS being used for the left column......

content_column_left {
      vertical-align: top;
      width: 570px;
      padding: 0px;
      margin: 0px;
      border-top-style: none;
      border-right-style: none;
      border-bottom-style: none;
      border-left-style: none;
      
}

Here is the right one (currently has a red bg color.........

.column_content_right {
      vertical-align: top;
      width: 258px;
      padding: 0px;
      margin: 0px;
      border-top-style: none;
      border-right-style: none;
      border-bottom-style: none;
      border-left-style: none;
}

Here is the style for the paragrahs in both columns ...............

p {
      font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
      font-size: 14px;
      vertical-align: top;
      text-align: left;
      padding: 0px;
      color: #666666;
      margin-top: 5px;
      margin-right: 5px;
      margin-bottom: 5px;
      margin-left: 15px;
      line-height: 20px;
}

and.... here is the style for the image located in the column.......

.left-pad-image {
      margin-left: 5px;
      text-align: right;
      float:right;
}

Now.... if I remove everything from the column it sizes appropriately. However, if add anything back that is controlled by a css atribute, or just a table, it builds that right side buffer back in the column. Any and all help appreciated.Start Free Trial
