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!

Having a problem with CSS Floating Divs and Height Issues

Asked by maddhacker24 in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Tags: Html, CSS, IE 6,7 Firefox

I've been fooling around with converting my current layout which is full of tables to a CSS tableless layout and have been running into some problems.

1.)  I cant get the footer to clear both left and riight colums and align itself to the bottom of the page.

2.)  I cant get the site container to extend further then the browser window.  It should extend with the content that is contained within it...(leftcolumn,mainconten,rightcolumn)

3.)  I cant seem to get the layout to look like this:

Im attaching my page code for your review. You can also see the page at:
