Fivestar is a little contributed Drupal module that allows you to cast a vote on any content type. I prefer it to other rating modules because it's simple and elegant, and it can be skinned to your likes easily as well.

In a website i developed i needed to automatically load another node once a vote was assigned. To obtain this, i setted a random view as the homepage, and inserted a javascript call in the page's template (page.tpl.php).

This way, every time a vote is casted with Fivestar, the homepage reloads automatically giving back the next random node.

The javascript call code i used is the following:

Do you know a better or more elegant way to obtain the same result? Let me know in the comments ;)
