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!

Displaying Flash content in a three column CSS layout

Asked by morciani in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Adobe Flash

Tags: HTML, CSS, Flash

Hello Folks,

I'm working on a site and am having issues with the layout of a Flash element (slideshow) on the page.  About half of the slideshow is cut off...I'm about pulling my hair out trying to figure out why.  You can see the site posted here:

http://www.truenorthwebsolutions.com/preview/icscoatings (ICS Coatings- Mockup 1)

I've purchased a slideshow utility from www.slideshowpro.net.  The slideshow embedded into this page was built using their utility (it is driven by a param.xml file that defines the 'look and feel', and an images.xml file that contains the path, captions, etc. to all of the photos).  The CSS used on the page as well as the text within the param.xml file is pasted below..  Thanks for any help offered!

-Mike
