Getting Started

jqxRating represents a jQuery UI widget that allows you to choose a rating. You can configure the jqxRating items size, image and the number of displayed items
Every UI widget from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

The first step is to create html page and add links to the javascript files and css dependencies to your project. The jqxRating widget requires the following files:

The next step is to create a DIV element within the body of the html document.
The last step is to initialize the widget by adding the following script to the html document:
To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the jqxRating’s constructor.

$("#jqxrating").jqxRating(‘setValue’, 2);
    

To get the result of a function(method) call, you need to pass the method name in the jqxRating’s constructor and parameters(if any).

var value = $("#jqxRating").jqxRating(‘getValue’);
    

To set a property(option), you need to pass the property name and value(s) in the jqxRating's constructor.

$("#jqxRating").jqxRating({ value: 2 });
    

To get a property(option), you need to pass the property name to the jqxRating's constructor.

var value = $("#jqxRating").jqxRating('value');
    

To bind to an event of a UI widget, you can use basic jQuery syntax. Let’s suppose that you want to know when the rating is changed.. The example code below demonstrates how to bind to the ‘change’ event of jqxRating.

$("#jqxRating").in('change', function (event) {
    $("#rate").html(event.value);
});
