jQuery slider “slide” event: How do I determine the user's slide direction?

Question

I have been dissecting the event and ui objects in firebug but it doesn\'t seem to have anything I can use. Am I missing something? I suppose I can keep track of the value chang

Answer 1

Easy solution is simply to use negative range (instead of [1 - 10] use [-10 , -1]:

        $("#slider-roomsrange").slider({
        range: true,
        min: -10,
        max: -1,
        step: -.5,
        values: [-3, -1],
        slide: function (event, ui) {
            $("#roomsfrom").val((ui.values[0]*-1));
            $("#roomsto").val((ui.values[1]*-1));
           // $("#rooms").val(ui.values[1] + " - " + ui.values[0]);
        }
    });

I'm reversing the value to be positive by using *-1 and works gret.

*Only problem I have at the moment is that the step is 1 and not .5 as I expected.
