##Basic Usage
###Simple stars
Just add the class="star" to your radio boxes:
<input name="star1" type="radio" class="star"/>
<input name="star1" type="radio" class="star"/>
<input name="star1" type="radio" class="star"/>
<input name="star1" type="radio" class="star"/>
<input name="star1" type="radio" class="star"/>####Specifying a default value
Use the checked property to specify the initial/default value of the control
<input name="star2" type="radio" class="star"/>
<input name="star2" type="radio" class="star"/>
<input name="star2" type="radio" class="star" checked="checked"/>
<input name="star2" type="radio" class="star"/>
<input name="star2" type="radio" class="star"/>####Read-only stars
Use the disabled property to use a control for display purposes only
<input name="star3" type="radio" class="star" disabled="disabled"/>
<input name="star3" type="radio" class="star" disabled="disabled"/>
<input name="star3" type="radio" class="star" disabled="disabled" checked="checked"/>
<input name="star3" type="radio" class="star" disabled="disabled"/>
<input name="star3" type="radio" class="star" disabled="disabled"/>####Split-stars with the metadata plugin
Use the metadata plugin to pass advanced settings to the plugin via the class property.
The example below creates 4 total stars with a selected value of 1.25 (1 and a quarter star).
The total number of stars is the number of radios divided by the split, in this case 16/4 = 4.
The number of stars selected is the ordinal value of the radio selected divided by the split, in this case 5/4 = 1.25
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}" checked="checked"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
<input name="adv1" type="radio" class="star {split:4}"/>
