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 get IE7 to accept a jQuery "name" attribute change on a <FORM>

Asked by comcar in Dynamic HTML (DHTML), JavaScript, Internet Explorer Web Browser

Tags: ,

Sorry for the slightly hazy title.
I'm using jQuery and AJAX to load a page containing multiple DIVs with their own individual content, from various areas of our site. 2 of the DIVs I'm loading pull in some forms, however due to a legacy issue all the forms on the site have the same "name", which is "proDep".

I've used jQuery to change the name of the form...
    $('#iDerv form').attr("name", "dervForm");
and Firefox is happy with this and lets me address the 2 forms seperately, "proDep" and "dervForm", but IE just does something wierd that I don't understand.

It now treats "proDep" as a 2 dimensional array, with proDep[0] being "proDep", and proDep[1] being "newName".
I can access all the form fields using "proDep[0][4]" for example, but this is no good as I need to run functions that refer to fields in proDep as a 1d array.

It also then ignores the .append() ; function to add new elements to the form.

Is there a different way to change the name of an element or is this just something that IE can't handle?Start Free Trial
