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!

How to reduce CSS

Asked by NorthDorsetWeb in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Hi there - i was hoping someone could help me with the my code.    I have found some code for imageless text borders using CSS.  

I began by setting one up and have now found that I need to set up some styles for a number of different colours for instance - one blue class, one red, one green, one yellow etc.

I have started to do this but it seems to be getting complicated.  

Within the Text box left and right you see there are coloured headings.

I was going to start dupicating textbordr for each coloured heading I want and then each  border  oxb2 and rxb2  etc.... but is there anyway I can simplify this code?    

Many thanks
