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!

SlideDown function not working onload (Scriptaculous)

Asked by RichardMass in JavaScript Frameworks, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Extensible HTML (XHTML)

Tags:

Hi everyone.

I have a page where I am setting animation orders using an onload function (as seen below). On load, the page fades in, I am then wanting to have "slidedown_demo" slide down in the "header div".

I have tried using the same code I have used for Fade and Appear and had no luck. If I tell the script to slidedown all the content instead of "appear" all the content it slides down however I can not make this one little div slide into it's position. The onclick test button that I have within the main paragraphs work but not when I attempt to use the onload feature that brings the rest of the content into view.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please ask if further clarification is required.
