Knockout .js with jQuery UI slider

Question

Say I have the following jQuery UI sliders that are linked to a textbox.

Is it possible to allow the user to enter values in the textbox that are greater than the sliders value (and set the slider to max)?

ko.bindingHandlers.slider = {
init: function (element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor) {
var options = allBindingsAccessor().sliderOptions || {};
$(element).slider(options);
ko.utils.registerEventHandler(element, "slidechange", function (event, ui) {
    var observable = valueAccessor();
    observable(ui.value);
});
ko.utils.domNodeDisposal.addDisposeCallback(element, function () {
    $(element).slider("destroy");
});
ko.utils.registerEventHandler(element, "slide", function (event, ui) {
    var observable = valueAccessor();
    observable(ui.value);
});
},
update: function (element, valueAccessor) {
var value = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(valueAccessor());
if (isNaN(value)) value = 0;
$(element).slider("value", value);
}
};

In this example: http://jsfiddle.net/jearles/Dt7Ka/12/ I would like to be able to save values over 100 in the textboxes and have the sliders appear at their max value.

You can do with only updating the observable value in your slidechange event if the observable's value is less then options.max:

ko.utils.registerEventHandler(element, "slidechange", function (event, ui) {
    var observable = valueAccessor();
    var currentMax = $(element).slider("option", "max"); 
    if (observable() <= currentMax)
         observable(ui.value);
});

Put this lines after the line: if (isNaN(value)) value = 0; at the binding update function

if(value>100){
    $(element).slider("option","max",value);          
}

Example:

It changes the maximum value of the slider to the new value entered in the textbox if the value is greater than 100
