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!

Trying to create a fixed header on a table which has embedded invisible/visible table layers

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

Tags: ,

I am trying to create a scrollable table with a fixed header, I can achieve this. However, within the scrollable table, there are embedded tables contained in a layer which can be made visible or invisible - using a '+' icon

The problem comes if you scroll down a little and then click the '+' expand button, and view the embedded layer, it moves the fixed header up. I need this to stay static. I have tried various combinations on absolute, relative etc but none seem to display properly. I have attached a simple example of the problem.  Just scroll down and click the 'CARPY' link, this opens up the hidden layer and moves my 'static' header.Start Free Trial
