Version 1.2

Faster Page Rendering

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.

Slider Support

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.

Unrating Support

There is now example code to demonstrate how to add a button that allows the user to take back their rating.

Repeater Control Example

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.

Version 1.1

PostBack Support

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.

Increased Client-Side Flexibility

Client-side tie-ins now include OnClickJScript, OnMouseOverJScript, and OnMouseOutJScript.

Faster Client Code

The mouseover event is now noticeably snappier on very large pages.

RequiredFieldValidator Support

Hook up a RequiredFieldValidator to the rating control. (postback mode only)

Modify Time Between AutoSlickRater Cache Writes

WriteCacheInterval allows you to determine the trade-off between performance and reliability.
