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.

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.

---++ Usage

Create a set of radio buttons and surround them with a div of class ==jqRating==.
When you hover over the stars, a tooltip at the right side will display the value of the 
radio box, or the title if present.

---++ Formfield =rating=

The jquery rating plugin is used to implement a ==rating== formfield. Here are some examples:

| *Name*  | *Type* | *Size* | *Values* | *Tooltip message* | *Attributes* |
| Rating1 | rating | 5 | | | |
| Rating2 | rating | 10 | very low, low, substandard, standard, superior, I like it, quite good, good, very good, excellent  | | |
| Rating3 | rating | 20 | 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10   | | split:2 |
| Rating4 | rating+values | 10 | very low=1, low=2, substandard=3, standard=4, superior=5, I like it=6, quite good=7, good=8, very good=9, excellent=10  | | |

   * Rating1 defines a simple numeric rating
   * Rating2 defines a simple scheme using named categories.
   * Rating3 defines a selection between 0-10 using 0.5 steps
   * Rating4 defines a numeric rating where each value is mapped to a named category

Note, that the Attributes column of a rating field will be used to parametrize the jquery rating plugin.
