Integrating CSS star rating into an HTML form

Question

I ve seen a tutorial online - http   www htmldrive net items show 402 CSS-Star-Rating-System - for making a CSS star rating system    On the page they have this code    lt ul class  rating  gt      lt li gt  lt a href     title  1 Star  gt 1 lt  a gt  lt  li gt       lt li gt  lt a href     title  2 Stars  gt 2 lt  a gt  lt  li gt      lt li gt  lt a href     title  3 Stars  gt 3 lt  a gt  lt  li gt      lt li gt  lt a href     title  4 Stars  gt 4 lt  a gt  lt  li gt      lt li gt  lt a href     title  5 Stars  gt 5 lt  a gt  lt  li gt   lt  ul gt    From what I can tell  this is just a list  How would I integrate it into my form  so that the information from the star rating can be submitted to a database  My current code for the form is below     lt p gt Quality lt  p gt    lt input type  radio  name  ratingquality  value  1  gt     lt input type  radio  name  ratingquality  value  2  gt     lt input type  radio  name  ratingquality  value  3  gt     lt input type  radio  name  ratingquality  value  4  gt     lt input type  radio  name  ratingquality  value  5  gt

I m going to say right off the bat that you will not be able to achieve the look they have with radio buttons with strictly CSS   You could  however  stick to the list style in the example you posted and replace the anchors with clickable spans that would trigger a javascript event that would in turn save that rating to your database via ajax    If you went that route you would probably also want to save a cookie to the users machine so that they could not submit over and over again to your database  That would prevent them from submitting more than once at least until they deleted their cookies   But of course there are many ways to address this problem  This is just one of them  Hope that helps
