HTML5 slider bar. How to use the 'noUiSlider'

Laurent picture Laurent · Jun 5, 2016 · Viewed 13.9k times · Source

Good afternoon,

I am trying to implement the 'noUIslider' slider bar (http://refreshless.com/nouislider/) and am struggling even with the first example on their homepage.

I have downloaded the various css and js and unzipped them in a folder. Then I wrote the following html page, but it looks like nothing is working properly (blank html page). Any clue on what I have missed ?

A big thank you for your help and I wish you a nice Sunday.

Best wishes, Laurent
