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!

Ignore Uppercase Lowercase XML Nodes

Asked by jay_eire in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT), XQuery

Hi Guys,
I have some XSL that is searching an XML file based on artist name (please see code snippets), I want to bring back artist nodes regardless of case for example if the user enters the artist name as Bob Dylan or BOB DYLAN or bob Dylan it should still return back the same nodes, at present it will only return back the node if it is entered exactly as it appears in the XML file, is it possible to ignore case in XSL?

Thanks
Jay
