 * Copy star CSS file to app/webroot/css/star_rating/star_rating.css
 * and add the line “overflow: hidden;” to .star-rating

 * Usage example: include the helper and in your view file:
 * echo $starRating->display(‘Post/rating’,”/posts/rate/$id”)
 * It will create a star rater for the field Post/rating. An AJAX call
 * will be made to /posts/rate/$id/$rate_value
 * ( /$rate_value is appended to the CakeUrl that you pass to display function )
