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!

Strange Font and Hover Behavior in Firefox 2 Mac only

Asked by JagerM in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Firefox Web Browser, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Tags: CSS, Firefox 2.0.0.14, http://www.scottelson.com/rita/test.html

I have simple page (I thought!) that uses CSS to implement some basic text and navigation. The following behavior is observed in Firefox 2 on a Mac only. Everything seems fine on Safari (Mac), IE, and Firefox PC.

Again the link to my test page is:
http://www.scottelson.com/rita/test.html

There are couple of strange things I am seeing. Not sure if they are related.
1. General font appearance changes:
- The page loads and all text looks ok.
- Scroll down and all text that was off screen is bold, but text that was on screen (and is still on screen) is still "normal".
- Refresh (Command-R) and all on screen text is now bold.
- Scroll up and text that was offscreen is "normal", but text that was on screen (and is still on screen) is still "bold".
- Refresh again and all text on screen is back to "normal".

2. Font weight changes with hover.
- The page loads and all text looks ok.
- Hovering over one of the text navigation items to the left causes them to become bold (and underlined, but that is by design).
- When not hovering, the text remains bold.

Is this a Firefox issue or am I doing something bad is CSS? Seems strange that this is the only browser that has issues and only the Mac version. I am also using a CSS browser reset, but haven't had this issue in the past. Should I be implementing this a better way?

I can elaborate more if needed. Thanks for you help!

				<h2>Charlotte Nicholson</h2>
				<p>&nbsp;</p>
				<h3>by appointment through july 12th</h3>
				<p>&nbsp;</p>
				<p>Charlotte Nicholsons work is derived from an intuitive repetition of mark making.
					Its physical presence elicits impressions of clouds, steam, fur, a sub-atomic
					world and ambiguity. Using these gestures the artist has developed a series of
					paintings whereby the entire surface of the panel is covered in gold leaf, and
					in the course of time has developed a sensuous patina. The juxtaposition of this
					rich surface and the blue and pink palette stimulates an electric tension. The
					reflective surface draws out some of the marks more than others and leads the
					eye dancing around the pattern. Nicholson has experimented with this tension
					by adopting different size and shape panels and or covering more or less of the
					surface with the mark resulting in a gemlike quality.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> 
					<p>Nicholsons second series directly references the compositions of Jean-Honoré
					Fragonard (17321806), The Progress of Love series from the Frick collection.
					These four panels painted between 1771 and 1773, considered by many to be the
					artists masterpiece and one of the greatest decorative ensembles of the eighteenth
					century. In 1790, Fragonard painted ten additional panels (the two large-scale
					works Love Triumphant and Reverie; four Hollyhocks; and four overdoors of putti)
					to complete The Progress of Love.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
					<p>Nicholson was inspired by the exquisite nature and rendering of this group of
					paintings and how they resonated with her own process of mark marking and color
					palette. She extrapolated the central figure pairings, foliage and sky-scapes
					and re-configured them in her own visual language. The nuance created by the
					abstract volumes derived from the accumulation of Nicholsons mark clearly re-interprets
					these paintings as her own. </p><p>&nbsp;</p>
					<p>The artists mark is the decisive relationship between these two bodies of work.
					In the abstracted landscape of her Fragonard series she has been inspired by
					the sparse application of the paint and the ability of the mark to interpret
					its own density and movement. The gold leaf series takes on these forms with
					no underlying narrative and become the central focus.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
					<p>Graduate of Glasgow School of Art BFA in 2000 and Hunter MFA in 2004, Nicholson
					lives and works in Brooklyn.</p>
