Jquery slider plugin that supports “Multiple Ranged Handles” [closed]

Question

I have been looking for a Jquery UI slider pluging that supports mutiple ranged handles. The existing Jquery UI slider only supports one range set of values. I am looking for a slider that you can have muliple ranges. So a range with an inner range or two ranges that don't overlap.

Example:

R = handle

XX = Slider bar

= or - = Range between handles

XXR1------R1XXXR2--R2XXXXXXXXX

XXXR1----R2====R2-----R1XXXXXX

XXXR1--R2===R2----R3===R3--R1XXXX

I don't think there is a slider out there that can do this?? Just wanted to make sure before I go and write one.

Answer 1

I've just released Elessar to fill this exact niche. colResizable is fine, but it's not really the right tool for the job.

Answer 2

Here's how I did it.

myarr = [ 65, 80, 90 ];
$(function() {
    $( "#slider-range" ).slider({
        min: 0,
        max: 100,
        values: myarr,
        slide: function( event, ui ) {
            if ( ui.values[0] >= ui.values[1] ) {
                return false;
            }
            if ( ui.values[1] >= ui.values[2] ) {
                return false;
            }
            $(this).find(".range0").css({ "width": ui.values[0] + "%" });
            $(this).find(".range1").css({ "left": ui.values[0] + "%", "width": (ui.values[1]-ui.values[0])  + "%" }) ;
            $(this).find(".range2").css({ "left": ui.values[1] + "%", "width": (ui.values[2]-ui.values[1]) + "%" }) ;
            $(this).find(".range3").css({ "left": ui.values[2] + "%", "width": (100-ui.values[2]) + "%" }) ;
        },
        create: function(event, ui) {
                $(this).append('<div class="ui-slider-range ui-widget-header range0" style="left: 0%; width: ' + myarr[0] + '%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #CF1920;"></div>');
                $(this).append('<div class="ui-slider-range ui-widget-header range1" style="left: ' + myarr[0] + '%; width: ' + (100-myarr[1]) + '%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #FFE900;"></div>');
                $(this).append('<div class="ui-slider-range ui-widget-header range2" style="left: ' + myarr[1] + '%; width: ' + (100-myarr[2]) + '%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #26CF2D;"></div>');
                $(this).append('<div class="ui-slider-range ui-widget-header range3" style="left: ' + myarr[2] + '%; width: ' + (100-myarr[2]) + '%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% #00BCFF;"></div>');
        }
    });
});

Im sure it can be optimized more, but this should give you the general idea
