It's a good tutorial, but it doesn't worked with me. I have my page with comments and rating icons, but when I click nothing happens.
Thank you

Hi Fekri,
Can you use Firefox and Firebug to see what might be causing the problem on click?
It definitely works, so I'm assuming you must've missed or misspelled something - it happens to me all the time :)

I have the same problem, it's like the functions are not working or I don't know, everything show up but I can't do any action (Reset and vote buttons don't work)

Should the files in the "finished" folder that we can download work just like that ? If yes, it is not for me. Your codes are so clean, it would be really nice to have it to learn as much as I can

Do you have it hosted on the remote server so that I can have a look at it?

Hi Sebastian, again great tutorial. Obviously that one has to have a good knowledge of OOP and jQuery as well, but again really good tutorials on your website.
Greetings, Andres.

It work perfectly when I upload it on my server, but on localhost it doesn't. Just tested it to show you :p didn't even put in on my serv before.
I don't know why it does not work on localhost, the connection with the db is fine.

I'm not sure why it doesn't work in your local environment. It did work ok on my localhost.

I found the problem I had running it on localhost, just removed all the first / in the code pointing to files. And I add a ../ before the direction of the sprite img in the .css. Thanks for this tutorial !

Hi,
I stumbled across your website and I am extremely grateful for your tutorials. I would like to be able to use this on a WordPress platform. Any suggestions on how I can do that since the database is already created. Would I just need to create the rating table? I would like to use it to rate each post.
Thanks!

Hi Jay,
It should be actually pretty easy to use it with Wordpress. You just have to link the id of the post with the rating - same way as you would with comments in the original exercise.

Sebastian,
Thanks very much for the tip. I will give it a try and post the results here, so others may see it. That's of course if I figure it out. :)
