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!

How do I use CSS to align an image on the right side of a div without disrupting the flow?

Asked by oldmuttonhead in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Miscellaneous Web Development, Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags: ,

I need help with aligning an image with a transparent background on a website and wrapping the text tightly around the image.  For example,  the text will wrap around the shape of the van and not the "rectangle" of the image.  Everything is in CSS.  The page currently has a header, a "content" div to the left of the main section, a menu on the right, and a footer at the bottom.  I need to have the image on the right side of the left content section.  The only way I can get the van image on the right is to use "float: right;" but that breaks the text wrapping tightly to the image. Can I use CSS to make it format the text while ignoring the van image?
