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!

Using XSL to create dynamic dropdown menus

Asked by makman111 in Extensible Markup Language (XML)

Tags: dynamic, xsl, using

I want to create a pair of nested dynamic dropdown menus from a XML doc.  I am willing to double the amount of points for this question if someone can give me a specific example of what I need.

I have two menus one for locations, and one for customers.  The second menu list values are dependant on the value of the first menu.

My idea is that once the location box is changed, it fires of some JavaScript (insert your help here) that uses Path (more help please) to get the child nodes below the id of selected location.  The JavaScript would then transform the new DOM object created from the XPath statement using XSL (help) to render the customers select box using some type of innterHtml inside a div.

The xml doc looks something like:

<sites>
     <location name="site 1" id="1">
          <customer name="cust 1" id="11">
               <host name="host 1" id="111"/>
               <host name="host 1" id="112"/>
               <host name="host n" id="11n"/>
          </customer>
          <customer name="cust n" id="1a1">
               <host name="host 1" id="11a1"/>
               <host name="host 1" id="1s12"/>
               <host name="host n" id="1s1n"/>
          </customer>
     </location>
     <location name="site n" id="n">
          <customer name="cust 1" id="11">
               <host name="host 1" id="111"/>
               <host name="host 1" id="112"/>
               <host name="host n" id="11n"/>
          </customer>
          <customer name="cust n" id="1a1">
               <host name="host 1" id="11a1"/>
               <host name="host 1" id="1s12"/>
               <host name="host n" id="1s1n"/>
          </customer>
     </location>
