Answer 1

Seems to be a scope issue of some kind, not sure if it is exclusive to jsFiddle environment. When I make this change, it is fixed (for the advantage button at least)

setQuality = function(qulaity, type_rating, name)

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/EC44Z/8/

There are still some other issues however, the code is a little complex. It is better to do something like...

HTML

<a href="#" id="button_advantage" class="button">advantage</a>

CSS

.button{ /* styles for all buttons */ }
.selected{ /* styles for selected button */ }

JS (jQuery)

$("#button_advantage").on('click',function(){
    $(this).addClass('selected')
    $(this).siblings().removeClass('selected')
})

Summary

The code should be separated, so it is easier to maintain, works well in various environments, and gets good search ranking etc...

HTML is for content, and should be marked up as such, with appropriate classes to group similar items, and unique id for relevant elements.

CSS is for style, and all styles should be kept together there where possible.

JS is for dynamic functionality, so in this case, adding a class, so that the style changes.
