Diego’s plugin is the one that uses forms. I can do that because I already have a form surrounding my whole table to submit other data. Since you can’t nest forms, it’s impractical for me. If I get around to flushing out those other options, I’ll send you the results.

The only thing I’m not sure about is how to allow a callback function. And how I would allow the user to retrieve the results (besides my target method).

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I think you’ll have much more success using Diego A.’s star-rating plugin since he has continued to refine it and added some nice touches. I wish I could devote some time to this plugin, but I don’t think it’s going to happen for a long time. It was just a personal challenge to begin with anyway.

A target option for where to display results from server.

$(’.rating’).rating(’/jquery/rating.lasso’, {maxvalue:5})
});

Rollover second or third one.

My end product will me a list of items to rate. The list is built dynamically with an unknown number in the list. I need to pass the id or the item to the server. There is also the issue that the currently set value can’t be done on a single call via class tag.

I did a work around where I have a script tag in each row where I pass in the additional information.

If you were to update this plugin some more, here are some wish list items:
option to not have the cancel button
option for the name of the parameter to be passed to the server
option for callback function
read and pass id or other attribute value
pull current value from attribute

You could probably do this by setting a width on .rating and floating it left.

That said, I’d recommend you take a look at this much-improved version of the plugin:

The current implementation does not let me put some text before the stars. I want to use star rating for specifying condition of mobile phones. So i want that ther should be a text “Condition:” before the stars. Somehow, the stars always appear in the new line, whereas I want text and stars to be in same line.

How can I do this.

richi, I use this in a resultset as well. go here for an example; you’ll need to login to see the rating plugin:
http://meiko.novatunes.com

here’s my code

$(document).ready(function() {
$(’div.rateme’).rating(’example.php’, {maxvalue:5,increment:.5});
});

.
.
.

Try giving all of those elements the same class and just have the single line. For example:

$('div.rateme').rating('example.php', {maxvalue:5,increment:.5});
