The Star Rating Plugin is a plugin for the jQuery Javascript library that creates a non-obstrusive star rating control based on a set of radio input boxes.

Just add the class="star" to your radio boxes:
<inputname="star1" type="radio" class="star"/><inputname="star1" type="radio" class="star"/><inputname="star1" type="radio" class="star"/><inputname="star1" type="radio" class="star"/><inputname="star1" type="radio" class="star"/>Use the checked property to specify the initial/default value of the control
<inputname="star2" type="radio" class="star"/><inputname="star2" type="radio" class="star"/><inputname="star2" type="radio" class="star" checked="checked"/><inputname="star2" type="radio" class="star"/><inputname="star2" type="radio" class="star"/>Use the disabled property to use a control for display purposes only
<inputname="star3" type="radio" class="star" disabled="disabled"/><inputname="star3" type="radio" class="star" disabled="disabled"/><inputname="star3" type="radio" class="star" disabled="disabled" checked="checked"/><inputname="star3" type="radio" class="star" disabled="disabled"/><inputname="star3" type="radio" class="star" disabled="disabled"/>Use the metadata plugin to pass advanced settings to the plugin via the class property.
The example below creates 4 total stars with a selected value of 1.25 (1 and a quarter star).
The total number of stars is the number of radios divided by the split, in this case 16/4 = 4.
The number of stars selected is the ordinal value of the radio selected divided by the split, in this case 5/4 = 1.25
<inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}" checked="checked"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/><inputname="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>The rating method takes several options.
