The story

As far as I know, this is how it goes...

It all started with Will Stuckey's jQuery Star Rating Super Interface!
The original then became the inspiration for Ritesh Agrawal's Simple Star Rating System, which allows for a GMail like star/un-star toggle.
This was followed by several spin-offs... (one of which is the Half-star rating plugin)
Then someone at PHPLetter.com modified the plugin to overcome the issues - then plugin was now based on standard form elements, meaning the interface would still work with Javascript disabled making it beautifully downgradable.
Then I came along and noticed a fundamental flaw with the latter: there could only be one star rating control per page. The rest of the story is what you will see below...

It turns a collection of radio boxes into a neat star-rating control.
It creates the interface based on standard form elements, which means the basic functionality will still be available even if Javascript is disabled.

It's so easy, even my granny can do it:

$(function(){ $('input[@type=radio].star').rating(); });

Test 3 - With callback

Rating 1: (1 - 3, default 2)

Code:

$('.auto-submit-star').rating({
  callback: function(value, link){
    alert(value);
  }
});
