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.

How to keep 100% width iframes from breaking div layouts?

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

Tags: html, css, Firefox IE7

I am trying to design a 3 column layout for a page I am making. Where the left column is set at 200px, the right is set to 200px and the middle one would be fluent to fill the space that is left in between. I am also trying to place a iframe in the middle that will stretch to be 100% of the width of the center, minus a 20px border on both sides between it and the left and right columns.

I have done this in the past with tables, but am trying to improve my technique and use divs instead. I have attached some code that I have written so far, but what it seems like it is doing is making the iframe in the center stretch the center div to 100% of the whole browser, not just the div it is in, thus making the page scroll clear over.

I have included a copy of my broken code so that one might see what I am trying to accomplish.

Thank you in advance for all your help.
