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!

Bulleted list not placed correctly beside floated image - margin ignored

Asked by alicia1234 in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

I've tried everything I can think of to solve this problem, but I just can't make it work right.
www.wallewu.com/bulletproblem.html

The second bulleted list is displaying correctly: indented 20px. But the first one, which is to the right of a div that is floated left, does not display correctly. The div has a 15px right margin, and it's as if this margin is being totally ignored in the case of the bulleted list.

I do not have the luxury of being able to change the HTML code. Can only change the CSS. This problem exists in a much more complicated page, but I've extracted only the relevant code and also made the style sheet internal to help me debug it, and that's the "bulletproblem.html" code that I've posted for you to see.


I need help! ;-)
