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!

Filtered XSL query with columns

Asked by mcunn in XSL Formatting Objects, Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT)

Tags: XSL XML Filter 3 column

I'm fairly new to XML and have a tricky problem. I'm trying to put a filtered (using a for each line 64) dataset into 3 column format. For example:

my dataset is
Dog
Cat
Monkey
Parrot
Snake
Elephant

I filter for animals with 4 legs
so my result should be

Dog       |       Cat       |   Monkey
Elephant


 I thought I was getting close by using the mod on the position and then offsetting from there but my offset records are based on the unfiltered dataset not on my filtered one.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Michael
