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.

Hide and show DIV tags in table

Asked by Jon500 in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Tags: div, hide, tag, show

Using: IE 6.x

Hi,

I have a couple of DIV tags that start out with a visibility of "hidden". The problem is that they are hidden but they are creating unwanted whitespace in the page layout. Let me explain as briefly as possible using a simpler example:

Imagine an HTML table with a DIV tag below it. After the DIV tag is some text:

-----------
|           |
-----------
<Div>
Text

I start the page with the DIV tag set to visibility:hidden. However, since the DIV tag content is about 100px high, there is white space between the table and the Text! When I make the DIV tag appear, it fits nicely in the space that's been allocated to it.

The problem is that I'm using absolute positioning to bring the DIV tag's content into the table. Thus, when I show it, it correctly appears in the table--but the white-space it created between the table and the text is still there!

I have tried all sorts of combinations of placing the DIV tag in a row within the table and then setting the height of the table to "0"--and all sorts of other ideas, to no avail.

Just so you know, all I'm trying to do is to have a table cell into which I can hide/show various content, depending on what selections are made above in the web page. Thus, if a user clicks the otpion button that says "order form" then some fields will appear; if they choose "rebate form", other fields would appear, etc. It is a dynamic form that is rendered using Javascript and CSS.

Any ideas would  be most appreciated.

Thanks!
