This reminds me of the rating method used at www.TV.com which I like. If you are registered with the site, you can rate any show using an "equalizer bar" that is initially coloured grey but as you move the rating selector each bar lights up with colour, starting with red and progressing to green the better you rate it. Although displayed as a 10-point scale, it's actually a 100-point scale as you can choose values down to the closest 0.1. The overall rating is displayed as a decimal number that (I presume) is the average rating (i.e. 8.3 or 5.2) but your personal rating is always shown with the bar and can be modified at any time. The aspect of the mechanism for selecting a personal rating that I like the most is the colour coding of the bars for your selection. I'd also like to see the same colour coding used for the overall rating - that is, show the number in the appropriate colour, or display a thinner bar with the length and red-to-green values for that number. :-j(enni) ~~~~~ jenni merrifield -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] CGTV Games -- The Power of Interactive Entertainment ~~~~~ Designing to requirements And walking on water Are easy if both are frozen ~~~~~ ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
