It is not needed with version 1.1. I made the javascript much smaller, so it is included in the html that is generated.

Around Line 73 in ratings.php:

// Preload image
$ratings_html = "<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>image1 = new Image();image1.src = 'img/star_over.gif';function replace(img_name,img_src){document[img_name].src=img_src;}</script>";
//$ratings_html .= "<table width='60'  border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' class='ratings'><tr>\n";

and around Line 93 in ratings.php:

  $ratings_html .= "<a href='?showimage=$image_id&rating=$i' title='Rate this photo $i/5 ($votes)' rel='nofollow' onmouseout=\"$mouse_out\" onmouseover=\"$mouse_in\"><img src='$star_image' alt='$rating' name='star$i' width='12' height='12' border='0' style='vertical-align: middle;' /></a>\n";
}
// $ratings_html .= "</tr></table>\n";

Please note that I commented out/removed the table code as I am not using it. I'm not sure if I made any other changes or not, but this should get you closer.

Good luck!

Grey boxes? As the readme states, the stars have a white background and are intended to go on a white page. If you want to modify the background, I have the photoshop file available that you can work with. It will be released in the next version. Just browse to this directory. It is a layered file, you just need to change the background colour, turn on/off layers for the different stars then save for web...

EDIT: Removed link, the PSD files are now available in the download.

The error is

Line 39, column 401: there is no attribute "name"

...rc='img/star_on.gif' alt='2.00' name='star1' width='12' height='12' style='v

correspond to line 93 of rating.php

i delete line of mm_preload but it is another error...

thx

Don't you get crawlers rating your pictures this way? Because the stars are just links with images and any crawler will follow those links..

EDIT: I just saw the rel="nofollow". I know this means the link will not be counted for pagerank, but I think it doesn't prevent crawlers from crawling the link, because I had two ratings from Yahoo! Slurp tonight (it has good taste though ).
