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!

CSS List issue

Asked by satmanuk in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Hi all,

I am having a look at creating a navigation CSS section for my site. I searched around on the web and foud the below example(code snippet below)

it all looks fine but i need to do some work on the down state i think?

I am fairly new to CSS but i have done quite a bit of programming so i thought i would test how this works.

I noticed that the list class when set to  "on" is supposed to show the appropiate image to show that it has been clicked. At least thats what i thought. All the other lists are set to "off" and one is set to "on" . And this when viewed through a browser shows the menu with the "on" class to have the click, downstate image.

When i experimented with changing which menu had the on class the down state image doesnt work?

Any ideas?
