title: How to set initial value of Star Rating widget from server
body: <p>I am using the Star Rating widget and I'm trying to set the initial value of the widget from the value I get back from the server.  I know the principle is to set the default option to <code>selected</code> but I can't figure out how.  Some widgets have an <code>setDefault</code> method, but not this one, so there must be another way.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be awesome.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the HTML:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="stars_content" style="padding-top:6px;"&gt;
              &lt;select id="ContentRating" name="ContentRating"&gt;
                  &lt;option value="1"&gt;Very Poor&lt;/option&gt;
                  &lt;option value="2"&gt;Poor&lt;/option&gt;
                  &lt;option value="3"&gt;OK&lt;/option&gt;
                  &lt;option value="4"&gt;Good&lt;/option&gt;
                  &lt;option value="5"&gt;Very Good&lt;/option&gt;
              &lt;/select&gt;
              &lt;span id="content_hover" style="padding-left:5px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And here is the jQuery:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#stars_content").stars({
          inputType: "select",
          captionEl: $('#content_hover')
      });
  </code></pre>
