jquery star rating plugin and jquery click function

I'm using the jquery star rating plugin: http://www.fyneworks.com/jquery/star-rating/

I might get some html code like this:

<form name="api-disable">
  <input type="radio" class="star {split:2}" name="api-readonly-test" value="1"/>
  <input type="radio" class="star {split:2}" name="api-readonly-test" value="2"/>
  <input type="radio" class="star {split:2}" name="api-readonly-test" value="3"/>
  <input type="radio" class="star {split:2}" name="api-readonly-test" value="4"/>
  <input type="radio" class="star {split:2}" name="api-readonly-test" value="5"/>
  <input type="radio" class="star {split:2}" name="api-readonly-test" value="6"/>
  <input type="radio" class="star {split:2}" name="api-readonly-test" value="7"/>
  <input type="radio" class="star {split:2}" name="api-readonly-test" value="8"/>
  <input type="radio" class="star {split:2}" name="api-readonly-test" value="9"/>
  <input type="radio" class="star {split:2}" name="api-readonly-test" value="10"/>
  <input type="button" value="Submit &raquo;" onClick="
   $(this).next().html( $(this.form).serialize() || '(nothing submitted)' );
  "/>
  <span></span>
 </form>

This works fine, but if I try to call my own function my function doesn't alert. For example:

$('.star').click( function () {
    alert('test');
});

I also tried attaching an id and making that the click function, but still no luck. If I remove the star class from the buttons then my function will work. So it seems some of the code in this plugin prevents outer functions? What would I need to do to call my own function?

From stackoverflow

• The documentation suggests you can add a click callback, as well as some other events, when you activate that plugin:

  $('.auto-submit-star').rating({ 
    callback: function(value, link){ 
     alert(value); 
    } 
  });
  

  Roger : Thanks! I forgot about that page and apparently was looking at documentation.js, which was a bunch of scrambled characters. :P

  Kobi : Yeah, I also looked on the API page - it had nothing. Documentation is lacking for that plugin.

  Roger : If I add an id to each input, I can read the id in the callback function with alert($(this).attr('id')) but if the user clicks the cancel button then I can't pick anything up. I added an id to the js file in the rating-cancel link, but still no luck. Any ideas?

  Kobi : @Roger - sorry, I can't really follow that... Try asking a new question, and post the relevant code, I'm sure you'll get an answer. Also, if possible, consider using a plugin with better documentation, such as http://orkans-tmp.22web.net/star_rating/index.html

  Roger : Is it just me or does that have less documentation hah. Well I tried to use it and the input buttons are not even converting to stars. I'm using jquery-1.3.2. I've never used the UI before, but I attached the jquery-ui-1.7.2, and still only see input buttons.
