NickStakenburg.com - Projects - Starbox - Rating System

If your website has content which is rated by users, you may want to invest in a system that easily lets them show their approval (or lack thereof) or a particular post or feature. Such a service is offered by Starbox, which allows you to embed a five-star rating system into your site, using a single PNG image to create rating boxes.

Starbox offers several different options for the style and layout of its star system; you can personalize the color, size, number, and position of the stars. To get Starbox for your site, you’ll need to download and install the software. Once Starbox is installed, you can customize the style of the boxes using Scriptalicious (link is provided via Starbox), or by using Starbox’s list of a variety of different scripts which change the colors and number of votes cast, among other personalization options.

“Starbox allows you to easily create all kinds of rating boxes using just one PNG image. The library is build on top of the Prototype javascript framework. For some extra effects you can add Scriptaculous as well. Check the demos below to see what Starbox is all about and read on for more information on how to customize your own Starboxes”

Starbox is an easy way to install a rating system on your website. It retains simplicity of use without compromising style and customization options.

Starbox might be a little too complex in terms of embedding instructions for the casual site owner. It would also be convenient if the service offered a similar system, for check marks, or perhaps provided other PNG images which could contain the icon of your choosing (for example, instead of a star, a thumbs up or a smiley face).
