title: I use pure css for star rating. How can I default rating value?
body: <p>The rating system works fine and does not use js at all. I store the rating in the database.</p>
  
  <p>If I want to change the rating and retrieve the rating from the database, what changes to CSS I should make to show the stored rating?</p>
  
  <p>For example, I rated something by 4-star before. When I click to the edit page, I can see it's rated by 4 stars and still I can change it to 1-star or 5-star.</p>
