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!

Outlook stretches the divs too 100% width

Asked by flipside1212 in Extensible HTML (XHTML), Web Languages/Standards

Tags: Microsoft, Outlook, 2007, CSS Stylesheet question

Outlook seems to stretch the div containers to fill the available area. Everything displays fine except for that white space fills and area to the right of my design and the div's borders stretch and render to the right edge.  Does anyone know how I can rewrite the following code so that it stays 640px wide and doesn't render the border to the right edge.
