I need to allow users to rate things on a site, but as far as I can tell, none of the star rating controls I've seen do everything I want. I'd like the following:
1. Should have CSS or Javascript rollover support to highlight stars as mouse rolls over them. 2. Must be able to fallback to regular HTML form submission if javascript is not availble. 3. Needs to have multiple star rating controls in the same form on the same page. 4. Should be able to show the overall rating within the same control (as colored and grey stars) and still allow mouse rollover highlighting in another color. 5. Should have a display-only mode where the rating feature doesn't work, it just shows the current rating. The Wicket rating control doesn't include the mouse rollover support: http://wicketstuff.org/wicket13/ajax/?wicket:bookmarkablePage=%3Aorg.apache.wicket.examples.ajax.builtin.RatingsPage This CSS only version is nice, but I don't think it does any sort of fallback to regular HTML: http://komodomedia.com/blog/index.php/2007/01/20/css-star-rating-redux/ This JQuery-rating plugin is probably closest with really nice HTML fallback, but it looks like each control needs to be in its own form and I need multiple controls in a single form: http://sandbox.wilstuckey.com/jquery-ratings/ Before I go and start creating yet another star rating wicket control, does anyone know of other solutions that would work? Or any advice on which path to take? I'm tempted to start with the JQuery-rating solution and build a wicket control from it, but maybe adding rollover to the current wicket control would be better? Thanks!
