We have a ui slider we utilise, and it works flawlessly.
code:
jQuery(function() {
jQuery( "#slider-range-min" ).slider({
range: "min",
value: 1,
step: 1000,
min: 0,
max: 5000000,
slide: function( event, ui ) {
jQuery( "#amount" ).val( "$" + ui.value );
}
});
jQuery( "#amount" ).val( "$" + $( "#slider-range-min" ).slider( "value" ) );
});
As you can see we allow user to pick anything between 0 and 5,000,000.
Html is:
<div id="slider-range-min" style="width: 460px; float:left;margin:10px;"></div>
What I want to do is add a text input element which works in harmony with the slider, so as user slides the texy box increases, decreases whatever..
Or if the user types numbers into the input element the slider moves appropriately.
Any help please ?
Preview is:
You need to update the input
element (like you're doing now for the #amount
element) on slide
:
$("#slider").slider({
range: "min",
value: 1,
step: 1000,
min: 0,
max: 5000000,
slide: function(event, ui) {
$("input").val("$" + ui.value);
}
});
Additionally, you need to bind to the change
event for the input
element and call the slider's value
method:
$("input").change(function () {
var value = this.value.substring(1);
console.log(value);
$("#slider").slider("value", parseInt(value));
});

There's no validation going on here (you must include the "$" sign for it to work). You could add some more robust input sanitation to enhance it.
