user feedback in one click

[smilesinblues@hotpop.com]

Hi,
I have seen this on google and MSN. Google groups has star on which if
you click the topic becomes stared... MSN has 5 stars to get feedback
from user for giving rank to the pages. Sorry I don't remember on which
page they have this feature but I am very sure they have this.

I also require it for page rank, I was wondering how do they do it. I
am sure MSN is not storing the data on the clients machine.

I want if users click on 3rd stat then the 3 should go inside my mySql
DB and at the same time I don't want them to go to some other page or
open a pop up or something, can anyone tell me how can I do this.
Thanks in advance.

Bye

You use Javascript to set the stars. To send that info to the server, you
use a simple anchor tag, with the number of star in the URL.

Example:

<a href="save_rati ng.php?score=5" >
<img src="img/star_on.gif"
onmouseover="Hi ghlightStars(5) ">
</a>
<a href="save_rati ng.php?score=4" >
<img src="img/star_on.gif"
onmouseover="Hi ghlightStars(4) ">
</a>
<a href="save_rati ng.php?score=3" >
<img src="img/star_on.gif"
onmouseover="Hi ghlightStars(3) ">
</a>
<a href="save_rati ng.php?score=2>
<img src="img/star_on.gif"
onmouseover="Hi ghlightStars(2) ">
</a>
<a href="save_rati ng.php?score=1>
<img src="img/star_on.gif"
onmouseover="Hi ghlightStars(1) ">
</a>

The trick is to return HTTP status code 204 (no content) after the data is
saved. The browser will react by keeping the current page.
