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!

Clarification of path types

Asked by Lady_M in Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Hi

This is probably a stupid question, but I am confused about relative and absolute paths.

I understand the fact that you use ../ to do relatives and the whole path for an absolute. And I know about base urls. But I often see developers using variations on that,

such as:
src="/foldername" - with or without that first forward slash which starts from the root level rather than the page you're actually in (without any base url actually being set in the head of that doc)
or
www.myserver.com/pages/ vs www.myserver.com/pages - with or without the trailing slash
or
<script type="text/javascript" src="//www - without the http:

On some servers it seems you can assume the root (www.myserver.com) is implied (even if there is no base url set in the file), and you can just put the end part of the path in. On other servers this doesn't seem to work and you have to put in the whole url or a relative path.

And then there is the issue of masking urls so the path hierarchy seem to bear little resemblance to where it actually goes (I'm not talking about redirects).

All in all, I'm a bit confused. Can somebody please clarify all the different variations please?
