Simple AJAX article rating script

Yup, the hand cursor thing as on my mind as well. I was simply to lazy to alter my CSS through javascript, but I will make some cosmetic changes to this widget over the weekend.

Finding third colour for stars is hard, I already got yellow for voted and orange for mouseover. What other colour could I stick in there you think?

Also, do you guys think that current orange is different enough from the yellow when it comes to star images?
 
Just start out with your "Rate It" text being a color like yellow/orange. After voting, change it to the color it is now.
 
The orange and yellow contrast works well when voting. You could switch to a color like light blue if they already voted.

Yeah, I meant going from a color that shows it is active to gray to show inactive. We do that all over our application to show enabled/disabled.

Gotcha, mouseover should have no effect on a poll you already voted on..
 
You can't see ratings until you actually vote? That doesn't sound very useful... Maybe I caught it in an interim state. But, right now it is showing all stars gray on articles you haven't yet rated?

I've been heavily re-working the script and flushed the ratings data. So no articles are rated as it is. There might be some more changes in the upcoming days, so using my website as the demo might not be representative of the code available for download in files section for some time. I'll post here with updated code once I finalize the widget.

Thanks for sharing this with everyone! I really am interested in looking at this in detail when you are done. Let us know when you get the final version up and I'll re-download the whole zip.

Thanks!
