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!

Refreshing/Updating a page after making selection on a pop-up window??

Asked by dblumenstetter in ColdFusion Studio, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Java Server Pages (JSP)

Tags: ,

Hi, thanks for your time.

I have a page displaying the specifics of an event scheduled on a calendar.

I want users to be able to select specific equipment to be serviced during this event so I created a pop-up window to allow people to select an asset for service.  OnSubmit, the data is sent to a database and works fine.  Right now, I'm displaying a screen verify the update.  What I'd like is to have the pop-up write the data to the database, then close, bring the user back to the parent window and refresh the page to display the update.  Is that even possible?  any advise would be great, I'm not good with javascript so please be gentle if the solution involves a lot of javascript, which is cool, I'm just a rookie.  Any suggestions for books or tutorials to bolster my javascript knowledge would be greatly apprecitated as will.  thanks
