I’m building a video gallery which spans over 15 pages so far. My pages consists of a thumb for each video clip. Each page contains between 200 to 300 thumbs. When the thumb it selected, it opens a modal with pic, description & play button to view video. I’m using a star rating module called StarRate which gives each thumb a set of 5 stars to rate the video. Each star is a radio button which you can select to give each thumb the desired rating. All works as intended, but I need ability to load the values of the radio buttons when the page loads from a local file. I also need it to save all values whenever a rating is changed, overwriting the original file so it will be updated when the page is opened later. This runs on local machine and isn’t on a server and only runs locally, so I have no database available to store and retrieve the values. I am a beginner so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated 🙂

I’m able to retrieve the selected value of each selected star radio button using this code:
<!-- Submit button -->
<button type="button" onclick="displayRadioValue()">
Submit
</button>
<br>
<div id="result"></div>
<script>
function displayRadioValue() {
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "";
var ele = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (i = 0; i < ele.length; i++) {
if (ele[i].type = "radio") {
if (ele[i].checked)
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML
+= ele[i].name + " Value: "
+ ele[i].value + "<br>";
}
}
}
</script>
I can set the value on page load of a star radio button using this code:
<script>
$(function() {
var $radios = $('input:radio[name=m2]');
if($radios.is(':checked') === false) {
$radios.filter('[value=2]').prop('checked', true);
}
});
window.onload = function() {
if(!window.location.hash) {
window.location = window.location + '#loaded';
window.location.reload();
}
}
</script>
