how do I check if the stars have been clicked? (Jquery Star rating plugin)

I'm using this plugin http://www.fyneworks.com/jquery/star-rating/#tab-Testing. I was attempting to make a client-side validation system which figures out whether stars have been clicked. I was wondering how you can do it.

In my javascript file, I have

    $('#star1').click(function (){
        document.getElementById('star1').checked=true;
        return false;
    });

I'm using radio button typed stars and have html code like this,

    <input id="star1" name="star1" type="radio" class="star" value="1"/>
    <input id="star1" name="star1" type="radio" class="star" value="2"/>
    <input id="star1" name="star1" type="radio" class="star" value="3"/>
    <input id="star1" name="star1" type="radio" class="star" value="4"/>
    <input id="star1" name="star1" type="radio" class="star" value="5"/>

But this doesn't seem to work.
