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!

IE 7 and below not rendering td cells correctly

Asked by gwh2 in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags: css, xhtml

Hi everyone,

I have table that I've styled with the css code shown below.

The width of the table is 733px. There are 7 columns in the table and I've given all of them a width of 86px with the exception of the first two columns where the first one has a width of 152px and the second one 151px. This adds up to the table width of 733px.

It works in all browsers but not internet explorer 7 and below. In this browser the first two columns (which are styled wider than the remaining ones), are both really narrow and the text is getting wrapped onto the subsequent lines.

I can't work it out since all other browsers render if perfectly - even internet explorer 8.

Does anyone know what's going on here?

Appreciate any help.
