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 for TR/TBODY border/outline

Asked by Mykaella in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Internet Explorer Web Browser

Tags: CSS, IE, Browser Compliance

I'm trying use CSS to put a border around multiple all columns in a table row. Neither browser allows use of the 'border' property on TR or TBODY, and while I can use 'outline' in Firefox just fine, Internet Explorer doesn't seem to support it.

I would just put a partial border on each of the cells, but I'm already using border on them to show a different color in a block uniformly inset from the cell boundary regardless of the block content. And a div wrapping the content of the cell won't work either because neither browser seems to honor 'height' for divs (or anything but images, for that matter).

I only found the 'outline' property by seeing how Firefox accomplishes "Outline Table Cells" with the Web Developer Toolbar. I was hoping that the IE Developer Toolbar "Select Element by Click" function would also use CSS, but this does not seem to be the case.

I've spent hours banging my head against this, and while I'd be irritated by the lost time, I'd love to find out that there really is a way to do this.

Thanks for any suggestions!
