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!

Properly displaying <input> fields in both IE and NN ?

Asked by diago in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

Hi, this might be a newbie questions but it is causing a headache for one of my projects.

I use the following code to display a top heading for a website.

<map name="BMap-1x1">
<area shape="rect" coords="140,5,200,18" href="/BrillTech/" alt="Welcome">
<area shape="rect" coords="260,5,320,18" href="/BrillTech/FAQ/" alt="Questions">
<area shape="rect" coords="380,5,435,18" href="/BrillTech/Bulletin/" alt="Discuss">
<area shape="rect" coords="499,5,550,18" href="/BrillTech/Submit/" alt="Submit">
<area shape="rect" coords="608,5,680,18" href="/BrillTech/Downloads/" alt="Downloads">
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,700,28"></map>

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="750">
<tr><td colspan="4" height="32" background="/Images/banner.jpg" align="right"><img src="/Images/BMap.gif" width="700" height="28" usemap="#BMap-1x1" border="0"></td></tr>
<tr><td width="250" id="blue" rowspan="4" bgcolor="#000080" valign="top" align="left"><img src="/Images/logo.jpg" border="0" WIDTH="186" HEIGHT="105"></td>
<th colspan="3" bgcolor="#000080" id="blue">Brilliant Accounting &amp; Quickbooks Online Support</th></tr>
<tr><td colspan="3" bgcolor="#000080">&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td width="75" align="right" bgcolor="#000080" id="blue">Question:</td>
<td width="325" bgcolor="#000080" id="blue"><form name="Search" method="POST" action="/BrillTech/FAQ/freeresult.asp">
<input type="text" name="Search" size="40" style="40"></td>
<td width="100" align="center" bgcolor="#000080" id="blue"><input type="submit" value="Search"></td></form></tr>
<tr><td colspan="3" bgcolor="#000080">&nbsp;</td></tr>
</table>

It includes a form which is linked to an asp page that searches a SQL Databases. On IE the search input box display perfectly and the table is aligned properly. The image map also works fine.

In NN the input field gets extended to almost double the size which moves the search button into a total new cell. This causes the table to extend over it's actual size and the image map is also pushed more to the right.

Any suggestions on how a can make NN reduce the size of the input box ?

(PS: I also have a style sheet setup that changes the input box font to the
following:
input      { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-size: 10pt; })
