UI Slider changing slider on the fly

[istvano]

Hi Guys,

I have the situation when, based on an ajax request I need to change the slider range on the fly. The possible values the slider can select.

I am willing to write it, I just need some help how this should be implemented.

now, when the slider is created you have the min, max, steps

all I need is a function to change those values. also I do not know if I need to do anything else apart from changing the slider values, which can be done easily,

Thanks a lot,

You can update all options on the fly using the data method. Its currently hard to find, due to lack of (public) documentation, but that'll be available soon: ​http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Guidelines#jQuery.data

To change the minValue option:

slider.data("minValue.slider", -10);

Thanks for that, :( I checked the code so the option, but I though there has to be some more code executed as the values are changing :)

Thanks again,

Hi,

I am still having problems with this functionality, it DOES not seem to work,

if I create a slider:

this._slider = $("#slider").slider({

startValue:0, minValue: 0, maxValue: 9, stepping: 1,

});

It creates the slider, and works fine, later in my code,

I do the following:

this._slider.data("stepping.slider", 1); this._slider.data("minValue.slider", 0); this._slider.data("maxValue.slider", 4);

It still have 9 steps and, even if I check it later on with a new call what does the data holds, gives me back min:0, max: 4, stepping:1, but still the slider itself has 9 steps etc.

Thanks for any help,

Istvan
