AJAX Rating in action with Tutorials Just click here to see it, click on a tutorial and you can rate stuff. I designed one. But obviously AJAX is just the transmitting of stuff, you cannot use AJAX alone to program something. You need to know PHP or ASP or Perl or something else to be able to do it. (mine uses PHP to calculate rating and add it to database and use a coookie to block spammers).
I found this one here: http://masugadesign.com/the-lab/scripts/unobtrusive-ajax-star-rating-bar/ It's highly customizable, and seems to be able to do everything I want it to do, except dynamically name each rating bar based on a placeholder i.e. [+id+]. I'm sure it can, but I still need to figure out the syntax. You can see the rating script in action here: http://www.themovietimeline.net/modx/index.php?id=15
