Here's a short code fragment, demonstrating how to use limitslider.
There are many more options to tailor it to your needs.
<div class="example-basic"></div>
<script>
$(function() {
$('.example-basic').limitslider();
});
</script>
- Ticks
- Init event
- Vertical ranges
- Title/label callback; index of slider, before/after ranges, options, etc.?
- Easy access to lengths or ranges in events
- Visual styling (i.e. height)
Create one or more limitsliders or access an existing limitslider.
Limitslider is based on the standard jQueryUI Slider widget and inherits it's API interface.
This means all options, methods and events describer for it are supported in addition to all the options, methods and events described below.
API documentation for jQueryUI Slider can be found here: http://api.jqueryui.com/slider/
Name of a class that is set for every even (second, fourth, etc.) slider handle.
Name of a class that is set for every odd (first, third, etc.) slider handle.
Sets the minimal distance between individual sliders. If set to undefined,
sliders may cross each other. Set to 0, they may touch, but not cross.
Any greater value will force the sliders to be atleast the specified amount
apart.
Units are in parts of the slider range defined by min and max.
If enabled, each slider will have a label printed on it.
By default, the label will simply contain the current position number.
Alternatively, you can set a function which will receive the current position as it's first argument and the 0-based index of the handle as the second argument. The function should return a string.
Please keep in mind that space on the slider buttons is limited.
Sets the lower and upper limit (or gap) of all sliders.
@TODO
The maximum value of the range.
The minimum value of the range.
Sets any marked ranges that are visible. If defined, must be an array with at
most the number of sliders + 1 (for each range to the left of each slider and
one additional at the right side). A false value means the corresponding
range is not marked. A true value does mark the range.
You may also use an object for each position, with a class property which will
be set for the corresponding range, in addition to the normal marking. i.e.
{'styleClass': 'red-range'}.
If enabled, each slider will have a title shown by hovering over it.
By default, the title will simply contain the current position number.
Alternatively, you can set a function which will receive the current position as it's first argument and the 0-based index of the handle as the second argument. The function should return a string.
Array or values for the positions of the sliders. The number of items in the array determines the number of sliders. If not specified, the plugin will default to a single slider as per jQueryUI's slider.
Completely remove the slide control.
Disable the slider control.
Enabled the slider control.
Insert a new slider at the specified index with value value.
All arguments are optional.
-
indexThe 0-based position in thevaluesoptions array before which to insert. Specify 0 to insert before all current handles or the length of the array to insert after all current handles. If not specified, the new handle will be inserted after all current handles. -
valueThe value of the new handle. If not specified, the value will be automatically calculated averaged for the surrounding handles. -
rangeThe range for the new handle. If not specified, the range will befalse. -
limitThe handle-specific limit for the new handle. If not specified, no handle-specific limit will be set. All global limits will still apply.
Also supports all the additional options for the limitslider widget.
Insert a new slider at the specified index with value value.
All arguments are optional.
-
indexThe 0-based position in thevaluesoptions array at which to start removing. If not specified, the last handle(s) will be removed. -
lengthThe number of handles to remove. If not specified, one handle will be removed. If the length is greater than the number of current handles, no handles will be removed.
Get the value for all handles.
Code example var values = $(".selector").slider("values");
