ui.slider - Multiple sliders - moveTo function with startValues.

[jamez]

I've modified ui.slider.js because I want to set the sliders to initial values and/or change the slider values via javascript.

Init example: $('#example3').slider({ steps: 10, startValues:[0,40] });

I know this was a planned/todo function (or rather modify the moveTo function) but you may find this helpful.

Lines 86, 138-142, 295-326 contain my changes.

Thanks.

startvalue as array for multiple handles patch, requires #2500 to be fixed

[joern]

I've attached a (simpler?) patch that accepts an array for startValue. It also contains the code from the #2500 patch, as that is required, too, otherwise moveTo messes up string values.

Using this enhancement, its easy to initialize multiple handles with map, if your slide represents other input fields:

$(...).slide({
  startValue: $("#x, #y").map(function() { return this.value })
});

Fixed in [4897].

Updated the API. To set multiple start values, use the handles-option (see docs for details).
