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!

Getting the asp:RadioButtonList to horizontally align items

Asked by PapaparaTudu in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Programming for ASP.NET, Internet Explorer Web Browser

Tags: , , ,

Hi,
I am trying to align the output of the code below horizontally in one line. For some reason, in IE6 the items take up two lines and each item takes up 100% of the line width, while in FF 2, Opera 9 and Safari 3 they are all aligned in one line and do not take up any extra space.

As you can see, I'm using the asp:RequiredFieldValidator to validate the selection, and it works best with the asp:RadioButtonList, so I would like to use this control as opposed to looking for a workaround.

Any ideas why this is not working in IE?

                                    <div>

Here is the rendered html code:
                                <div class="divA">
                                    <div class="divB">
                                        <span class="labelA">Type of Item </span>
                                    </div>
                                    <div>                                                                        
                                        <span id="rblType" class="radioButtonList"><input id="rblType_0" type="radio" name="rblType" value="A sample item" /><label for="rblType_0">A sample item</label><input id="rblType_1" type="radio" name="rblType" value="Some other item" /><label for="rblType_1">Some other item</label></span>>
                                        <span id="rfvItemType" style="color:Red;display:none;"></span>
                                        <input type="hidden" name="vcItemType_ClientState" id="vcItemType_ClientState" />
 
                                    </div>
                                </div>
 
And here are the relevant parts of my css code:
 
.radioButtonList
{
}
 
.radioButtonList input[type="radio"]
{
	width: 20px;
    padding: 0;
    vertical-align: middle;	  
}
	
.radioButtonList label
{
	margin-right: 4px;    
    white-space: nowrap;
}
 
.divA
{
	clear: both;
	margin-bottom: 30px;
}
 
.divB
{
	float:left;
}
 
.labelA
{
	text-align: left;
	float: left;
	width: 180px;
	font-size: 10pt;
	font-weight: 600;
}
