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.

Drop Down Menu...

Asked by cstormer in PHP Scripting Language

Tags: down, drop, php

I have a page that is filling the values of a selection form from a database.

ex//
<select>
<option>php code to create the selection list</option>
</select>

This part works good.

The next challenge I have is immedietly after that first selection box is another one.
I can fill this selection box also, it has to fill with values that are based on the choice I made in selection box 1.

Selection box 2 is something like this:

$query = "SELECT DISTINCT product_size FROM product WHERE product_type = '$product_type'";

$product_type being selected in the Selection box 1.

Now.. the problem is how do I do this without leaving the page, $product_type is not assigned to anything until after I hit the submit button on my form, but at that point it is too late because the product_size choices for that product type never appeared.

Is there a way to do with with javascript, ajax.. help! even pointing me to a tutorial would be great.

Thanks!
