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!

Aligning DIVs within DIVs - Float issues

Asked by JohnSaint in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags: , ,

Hi all,

First off, could you check out the link before I describe the problem as it may make it easier...

http://www.gmurph.com/cleari/test/

I have put in some test background colours to make it easier.

Okay so I have a background DIV which contains a background image. Inside that I have a container DIV which is smaller in width so I can show a bit of the background shadow going on behind.

In the container DIV I have a logo image and also I have a menu DIV which contains a few dummy buttons. As it stands, the menu DIV sits underneath. I want it to sit next to the logo image. Float:Left doesn't seem to work and I'm not sure how to manipulate the inline property.

From there I want to be able to add various other elements to the page and see them fall nicely inside the page container DIV.

Would love your help on this one, many thanks in advance...Start Free Trial
