I’m beginning to like Nick Stakenburg. Starbox allows you to create a variety rating boxes (including “half stars”) using just one PNG image. The library is build on top of the Prototype javascript framework and extra effects via Scriptaculous

This release adds a lot of new features to the library:

* Rerating allows you to adjust your previous rating.
* You can easily save your rating with Ajax using the build in callback.
* Improvements to the CSS model, allowing you to style the Starbox based on status (hover, rated and locked).
* Better seperation of Javascript, CSS and images.
* A ghosting bar that tracks your average.
* Custom event ’starbox:rated’ is fired when your rate.
* Batched building of Starboxes based on cached overlay images.
