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 targeting problem

Asked by vallis in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Macromedia Dreamweaver, Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags:

I have a 3 level CSS list based flyout menu here:
http://www.mistywindow.com/index.htm

I wish to add a background arrow image only to those menu items (i.e. <li> tags) which open submenus. Currently I'm doing this with a text symbol "»".

I realise that I can do this by creating a class and applying it manually to each relevant <li> tag, but it would be more elegant to have this applied automatically.

So the question:
is it possible to create a CSS rule to target ONLY those <li> tags which have a child <ul> tag?

My flyout CSS is attached.

Thanks.

:o)

It's part of this stylesheet: http://www.mistywindow.com/css/navigation.css
