Building a simple Ajax rating system |
vote
|
|
| We all love to rate stuff. I think it must be part of our DNA. My daughter and I like to go to the movies; while she used to like them all before, she's much pickier now that she's four. I've taught her to use the "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" rating system ŕ la Ebert and Roeper. (She gave Shrek III a thumbs up.) I think this is why rating and reviewing things like products or articles on the Internet is so popular. This article shows how to use a combination of MySQL, PHP, Prototype.js, and Ajax to add simple rating and comment functionality to any site. read more... |
