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!

Width of a table with a text input control

Asked by zc2 in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Internet Explorer Web Browser, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Tags: Internet Explorer, CSS, width, minimum width

How can I make Internet Explorer (all other browsers fine) resize the input control as the browser's window width changes by the user?
It stuck with the minimum width which is the width of the inner text.  Using the code example below in Mozilla the input text box resizes perfectly with the resizing of the browser window but with IE, the input text box resizes until it reaches the size of the text it contains and then it will shrink no further.  
In other words, how can I get IE to behave like Mozilla, with respect to resizing the input text box in conjunction with resizing the browser window?
(I can not get rid of the table in my HTML.)
