I have an input element that is a range slider that I wanted to turn into a slider with a lower and an upper bound. This feature isn't implemented yet for range although it's being discussed. As you can see this is a popular question.
My issue is that the way I was retrieving the results of the slider no longer seems to work and I don't understand why. My original slider works like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<label for="slider">
<input id="slider" type="range" value="0" oninput="sliderAmount.value = slider.value" min="0" max="100" step="1" />
stuff: <output name="sliderAmount" for="slider">0</output>
</label>
</form>
<div id="stuff"></div>
<script>
amt = document.getElementById("slider");
var amtChange = function () {
document.getElementById('stuff').innerHTML+='<div>'+amt.value+'</div>';
};
amt.onchange = amtChange;
</script>
</body>
</html>
Every time you slide the bar it updates the stuff div with the new result. I want to be able do the same thing with the jquery slider but update the stuff div with the range instead.
<!doctype html>

$(function () {
$("#slider-range").slider({
range: true,
min: 0,
max: 500,
values: [75, 300],
slide: function (event, ui) {
$("#amount").val(ui.values[0] + " - " + ui.values[1]);
}
});
$("#amount").val($("#slider-range").slider("values", 0) +
" - " + $("#slider-range").slider("values", 1));
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<label for="amount">Price range:</label>
<input id="amount" type="text" readonly style="border:0; color:#f6931f; font-weight:bold;">
<div id="slider-range"></div>
</form>
<div id="stuff"></div>
<script>
amt = document.getElementById("amount");
var amtChange = function () {
document.getElementById('stuff').innerHTML += '<div>' + amt.value + '</div>';
};
amt.onchange = amtChange;
</script>
</body>
</html>
However, this doesn't seem to be able to pull the range from the slider input. If I go into the console in Chrome for the jquery example I can type amt.value
and it will return the value every time. What am I missing here?
Just trigger the
change()
method forinput
while changing it's value.Try this:

You can use the change event of jQuery UI Range Slider. Use it and append updated changes to stuff like below.
