The client code has been completely re-written for optimum page rendering speed. This can be a factor on pages with dozens of rating controls. Initialization code is now dynamically triggered, and an insidious Internet Explorer image caching bug has been eliminated.
It is now possible to use the SlickRater as a slider control. Just use images of the slider in
its various states. Make sure that ImageMode is set
to Single or SingleLocked.
There is now example code to demonstrate how to add a button that allows the user to take back their rating.
Because of many requests for an example of the SlickRater within a repeating control, an example page has been added showing you how to do this.
Now you can choose to post back rating changes with a form rather than immediately with a callback. Set AutoCallBack to false if you wish to post back only.
Client-side tie-ins now include OnClickJScript, OnMouseOverJScript, and OnMouseOutJScript.
The mouseover event is now noticeably snappier on very large pages.
Hook up a RequiredFieldValidator to the rating control. (postback mode only)
WriteCacheInterval allows you to determine the trade-off between performance and reliability.
