Submitting Data Without A Submit (NetFlix Star Ratings)
Mar 10, 2006
Does anyone know how Netflix manages its star rating system? The javascript
is either computer generated or obfusicated. It's more trouble to reverse
engineer than it's worth. I'm not very interested in their particular
solution for rating movies - I'm not in the business - but I'd like to know
the data transfer mechanism behind it.
It looks like they found a solid way of moving data between client and
server without getting the page redrawn. I found another script called
votio.php on the net. It does something similar but requires PHP (why?) to
create a XMLhttp stream. I'm not sure why it's server side. Maybe the
server has to create the stream object then pass it's handle on to the
client on the fly. Close?
I'm using IIS and msdn hints at some similar techniques.
The 10,000 mile view would still be helpful. What's this data transfer
thing called? Why isn't it used more? Why hasn't it replaced forms and
links? It seems incredibly useful and surprisingly stable (eg Netflix).

I have a form with about 10 fields, and the action is sent to a php file which processes the form. Now, I also like to use a Thickbox such that the user can preview the page before actually submitting it to the process.php. That means, I have one submit button and one href, which href links to an iFrame thickbox to preview the page. My problem is that I don't know how to obtain the input values in the iFrame, without user clicking on submit (rather i want to get the values through href). something like the preview on this forum, except I want it on thickbox.

I'm trying to submit form data to mysql. The POST form action calls the .js file, which make a request to the http server, which connects to the database, executes a php script via URL and submits data to be entered. The php script executes inserting data into database, then redirects the page following execution of script. After, submitting the form, the page redirection in the php script works but no data is entered. Trying to figure out why. Here is my httpRequest.
Code:
function submitPrefs()
{
var URL = './PHP/submitPrefs.php';
var xmlhttp=false;
[Code]....

I am pretty comfortable with jQuery and the validation plugin as well.
I am having an issue where:
User clicks a button it opens a lightbox (I am using Fancybox) - a form appears inside the modal. The data is submitted via AJAX and I am trying to validate the form before the form within the lightbox is submitted.
My button with the click handler right now does a GET to a server to send the data. Along with some other JavaScript. What is the best way for me to validate my form within a lightbox, and submit after it validates. Sending AJAX.

I don't want to use the cancel button functionality of the ratings plugin (version 3.12) so I don't want it showing in front of the stars. I was expecting to find a configuration setting for this, but didn't (did I miss it)? I added a line [control.cancel.hide()] to the draw() function in the source code on line 256 which did the trick, but I was wondering if there is a better way to do this (preferably through configuration)? My source code now looks like this:
251....
252else
253$(control.inputs).removeAttr('checked');
254// Show/hide 'cancel' button
[Code]....

Code:
<td>
<ul class="rating nostar" id="Torpedo">
<li class="one"><a href="javascript:RateItem('Torpedo', 1);" title="1 Star">1</a></li>
<li class="two"><a href="javascript:RateItem('Torpedo', 2);" title="2 Stars">2</a></li>
<li class="three"><a href="javascript:RateItem('Torpedo', 3);" title="3 Stars">3</a></li>
<li class="four"><a href="javascript:RateItem('Torpedo', 4);" title="4 Stars">4</a></li>
<li class="five"><a href="javascript:RateItem('Torpedo', 5);" title="5 Stars">5</a></li>
</ul>
</td>
This is a rating star row which is suppose to refresh without a browser refreshing. It is refreshing but is not CSS formatting to
Code:
<td><strong>Raiting:</strong></td>
<td>
<ul class="rated twostar" id="Torpedo">
<li class="one">1</li>
<li class="two">2</li>
<li class="three">3</li>
<li class="four">4</li>
<li class="five">5</li>
</ul>
I have to refresh the browser in order to

<li class="two">2</li>
<li class="three">3</li>
<li class="four">4</li>
<li class="five">5</li>
</ul>
to appear..
It's the javascript working? This is the code before clicking on one of the star in the star row.
Code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {color: #FF3300}
.style2 {color: #FFFFFF}
.style3 {color: #000000}
-->
</style> .....
The javascript links that should do the refreshing automatically supposed to be the two below:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/rating.js"></script>
How can it be possible to auto refresh it?

I'm implementing theStar Ratingplugin. Star rating is called like this:
$(function(){
$('.stars').rating({
callback: function(value, link){
$.ajax({
[Code]....
After a star is clicked the form is submitted and processed. "rate.php" returns an integer from 1 to 5 with the new average rating. So far so good, but I'd like to update the Star radios with the new value and disable them after the form has been processed.
It seemed easy enough:
$('.stars').rating('select', data);
$('.stars').rating('disable');

I'm using this star-rating plugin [URL] and the call back function provided to allow for submission of forms onclick of rating star.
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('form.entry_rating').rating( {
callback:function(value, link) {
alert(value);
}
});
});
However, once the callback is included I get an error I've been trying to track down for the past day and a half. In IE the error thrown is "Object doesn't support this property or method" on Line 100 character 4. In my JS debugger the plugin breaks on line 99

Im working on a backend panel where i populate a simple table with a few text boxes in there so they can update some values. I also have at the end of every row in the table an Edit, Delete & Save button. When i hit the save button i would like to update that entry in the database.
My Problem is that i need a value from the table before hitting a submit button, and the element names are dynamically created meaning ill likely need a variable sent from php to javascript and once i have the value in javascript ill need to send it back over to the php to manipulate and send to the server.
From wat i can gather using 'document.form.element.value' is the best way to go, hence why i posted this in javascript when most of my code is php.
