cssrating

I use pure css for star rating. How can I default rating value?

The rating system works fine and does not use js at all. I store the rating in the database.

If I want to change the rating and retrieve the rating from the database, what changes to CSS I should make to show the stored rating?

For example, I rated something by 4-star before. When I click to the edit page, I can see it's rated by 4 stars and still I can change it to 1-star or 5-star.

.star-rating {
  font-size: 0;
  white-space: nowrap;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 150px;
  height: 30px;

  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="3"><i></i>
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="4"><i></i>
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="5"><i></i>
</span>

Solution

  • Add the checked attribute to the desired input:

    <span class="star-rating col-sm-10">
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="1"><i></i>
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="2"><i></i>
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="3" checked><i></i>
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="4"><i></i>
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="5"><i></i>
</span>

    You will also need to add this CSS

    .star-rating input:hover ~ input:checked + i {
  opacity: 0;
}


    .star-rating {
  font-size: 0;
  white-space: nowrap;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 150px;
  height: 30px;
  overflow: hidden;

    Or, alternatively, replace

    .star-rating:hover input:checked + i

    with

    .star-rating:not(:hover) input:checked + i


    .star-rating {
