Forum: Rails Spinoffs (closed, excessive spam) Multi handle ranged slider

Hi,

I have this multi-handle slider: http://tiny.cc/i9ZI1 but I'd like to
have a DIV bewteen the two slider so I could give it a color or a bg,
how'd I do that?

Many thanks.

Hi

Your slider handles have a left position, (style.left) which should be
relative to the left of the containing div (track).
You know the slider width, so if you wanted a div, lets call it 
highlight to
be displayed in the correct left position, with a width,
add it to the markup, and then when your sliders are moved, via a 
callback
function do something like this:
where highlight, leftHandle and rightHandle are dom references.

highlight.setStyle({ left: leftHandle.style.left + 
leftHandle.style.width,
width:(rightHandle.style.left - leftHandle.style.left -
leftHandle.style.width); })

Also, your example page-refreshes in IE7 when I finish moving a slider, 
not
sure if that's what you wanted.
