Star rating in ruby on rails

Recently I needed to implement star rating system for one of my project I am working on.

If you are not familiar with a star rating system, its simply a method of voting using (usually) 5 stars in a row, which will change colour as you hover over them indicating the level at which to rate something. You may think a simple rollover would accomplish this but difficulty arises because as you rollover each star it should stay highlighted while you light up the next one and so on until the end of the row of stars.

 

Install the acts_as_rateable plugin.

Run the following from the root of your Rails app to install the plugin

script/plugin install http://juixe.com/svn/acts_as_rateable

or
