gah.. for some reason I thought you were using a <select ..> element.
Try this instead.
<form>
<input type="text" id="Number">
<a href="#" onClick="update_rating(1,document.getElementById('Number').value);return false; ">Click Here</a>
</form>
AWESOME! It works! That is super cool! Thank you so much!

I was close before, I had
<form>
<input type="text" id="Number">
<a href="javascript: update_rating(1, document.getElementById('Number').value)">Click Here</a>
</form>
And nothing was happening. I don't even know javascript though really, so I don't know what I was expecting, lol.
for some reason the href="javascript doesn't like to work a lot of times, so I did onClick which works better, but you need the return false

what does return false do?

If you don't have it the browser tries to go to "#". That just tells the browser not to follow the href.

Does it need to say 'javascript:' first, or can it just right into the code? I have it as onClick='javascript: ...' does it matter?
I would take it out, it doesn't need that.

I got close to getting it to work by basically cutting and pasting snippets from other scripts that were doing something similar to what I was trying to do, but when you do that, you end up with other coders quirks in there, lol.
Good to know, I'll take it out.
