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!

Centring DIV within another DIV

Asked by AndyReed in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Dynamic HTML (DHTML), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Tags: CSS, Firefox, IE6&7

Hi,

I'm currently moving our website from its old table based layout to DIV based positioning. I'm having some difficulty getting some content vertically and horizontally centred within a parent DIV.

I have a page which contains a number of supplier logos and links. These can vary in size slightly so are contained within a nice rounded edge frame. That works fine but what I'm trying to achieve is the supplier logo and link neatly centred within the rounded edge frame.

I can get this working if I position the interior DIV precisely using values for one image and text but I can't figure out how to come up with a generic CSS style that will handle any image and text length. Is there some way of making my interior DIV always centred within its parent?

I've attached a mocked up view of what I'm trying to do. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Andy
