  Working with ASP isn’t my favorite thing in the world, but that’s all the more reason to get fun ASP extensions for Dreamweaver that create nice-looking functions and don’t cause any designing issues. Since a growing number of sites are focused on delivering dynamic content in the form of blogs, articles, or other changing front-page items, having a couple of interactive and related modules at the ready for ASP systems is nice for designers on the tail end of a demanding project. This rating system is specifically for ASP sites yet doesn’t require special knowledge of the code.
  The basic design is centered around a group of five smiley faces, which have nice, interesting yet neutral characteristics (call me crazy but some modern smileys make me cringe), and highlight when moused over. A user can click the number of smileys they’d like to give something on the site, and the system will send the information along to a filter or bypass it if the site owner wants to keep ratings realistic and honest. A view of the number of votes will also appear.
  The developers note that adding a ton of instances of the ratings system, say one for every post on a page with 20 blog posts, some serious time delays can occur for server communications, and I’ve found that this is very true. Still, within the right, well-thought out design context, this is a great ASP element that brings interactivity to sites in a non-intrusive and visually interesting way.
