Step 1: XHTML
这里只介绍静态的技术，随后会给出系统的应用，你也是自己加程序来尝试一下，还可以采用ajax来做出绚丽的效果
Step 2:图像|Graphics
为了节省您的空间和宽带，我们采用gif图，这个图片就是打分的按钮。

Step 3:CSS
.star-rating{
list-style: none; /* turn off the default list image bullets*/
margin: 3px; /*I wan't some space around this thing*/
padding: 0px; /* I'm anal. I'm pretty sure OL's have a default padding of 0px, but we'll set it to 0px just to be safe*/
width: 100px; /*This list is 5 stars, each star is 20px, therefore it should be 5 x 20px = 100px wide*/
height: 20px; /* The height of each star is 20px. Since this is a horizontal list, we will set the list height to the height of the star.*/
position: relative; /*Very important. We will be using absolute positioning later. We want to use relatively-absolute positioning.*/
background: url(/blog_article/star_rating.gif) top left repeat-x; /* By repeating this image horizontally, the list will appear to have five stars.*/
}
根据代码我们知道：
去掉了ul的margin和padding以及list-style，定义了高20px宽100px的一个区块
下来时按钮元素的制作，下面是css
.star-rating li{
padding:0px; /* no padding at all*/
margin:0px; /* no margin at all*/
/**/ /*Backslash hack, this causes IE5 Mac NOT to see this rule*/
float: left; /* for any other browser, we are going to float left, this makes a horizontal list*/
/* */ /* end the IE5 Backslash hack*/
}
这段代码让li实现横向排放，并解决IE5 MAC bug
继承上面的按钮元素样式，再定义鼠标动作，下面是css
.star-rating li a{
display:block; /* we want a block item, so that we can mess with its height and width*/
width:20px; /* easy stuff, we want the width to be the same as the star width*/
height: 20px; /* same as the width*/
text-decoration: none; /* remove the underline from the link*/
text-indent: -9000px; /* indent the text off the screen using a [url=http://www.mezzoblue.com/tests/revised-image-replacement/]image-replacement technique[/url], we dont want to see the text anymore.*/
z-index: 20; /*we'll come back to this*/
position: absolute; /*we can now control the exact x and y coordinates of each star, relative to the parent UL*/
padding: 0px; /*once again, we don't need any padding*/
background-image:none; /* we will not show the star*/
}
13. .star-rating li a:hover{
14. background: url(/blog_article/star_rating.gif) left bottom; /*this is where the magic is*/
15. z-index: 1; /*move this star to the bottom of the z-index stack*/
16. left: 0px; /*move this star all the way to the left, aligned with the side of the UL parent item*/
17. }
下来我们要考虑怎样才能显示不同的星级，三星?四星?原理是什么，我们继续将背景图片横向重复显示，然后定义a和a:hover的宽度来区分选择的星级。
下面是css
.star-rating a.one-star{
left: 0px;
}
.star-rating a.one-star:hover{
width:20px;
}
.star-rating a.two-stars{
left:20px;
}
.star-rating a.two-stars:hover{
width: 40px;
}
.star-rating a.three-stars{
left: 40px;
}
.star-rating a.three-stars:hover{
width: 60px;
}
.star-rating a.four-stars{
left: 60px;
}
.star-rating a.four-stars:hover{
width: 80px;
}
.star-rating a.five-stars{
left: 80px;
}
.star-rating a.five-stars:hover{
width: 100px;
}
到此，这个制作完成
