How to change Jquery UI Slider handle

I want to modify the stock JQuery UI slider so that the handle has a arrow on it rather than being a square. i.e. I want to use a custom image as the handle.

There are a few tutorials that do it:

But I can't get it to work. The following code results in a stationary handle image:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <link type="text/css" href="http://jqueryui.com/latest/themes/base/ui.all.css" rel="stylesheet" />
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.core.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.slider.js"></script>
  <style type="text/css">
  #myhandle {position: absolute;z-index: 100;height: 25px;width: 35px;top: auto;background: url(http://stackoverflow.com/content/img/so/vote-arrow-down.png) no-repeat;}   
  </style>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $("#slider").slider({handle: '#myhandle'});
  });
  </script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="slider"><div id="myhandle"></div></div>
</body>
</html>

It is as if JQuery doesn't pick up that I want to use the myhandle id for the handle. I'm wondering: Do I need a plugin for JQuery to recognise the handle option? (it is not documented in http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Slider). Or perhaps it only worked in an old version of JQuery?

Any ideas?

The CSS class that can be changed to add a image to the JQuery slider handle is called ".ui-slider-horizontal .ui-slider-handle".

The following code shows a demo:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <link type="text/css" href="http://jqueryui.com/latest/themes/base/ui.all.css" rel="stylesheet" />
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.core.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.slider.js"></script>
  <style type="text/css">
  .ui-slider-horizontal .ui-state-default {background: white url(http://stackoverflow.com/content/img/so/vote-arrow-down.png) no-repeat scroll 50% 50%;}
  </style>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $("#slider").slider();
  });
  </script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="slider"></div>
</body>
</html>

I think registering a handle option was the old way of doing it and no longer supported in JQuery-ui 1.7.2?

.ui-slider .ui-slider-handle{
    width:50px; 
    height:50px; 
    background:url(../images/slider_grabber.png) no-repeat; overflow: hidden; 
    position:absolute;
    top: -10px;
    border-style:none; 
}

If you should need to replace the handle with something else entirely, rather than just restyling it:

You can specify custom handle elements by creating and appending the elements and adding the ui-slider-handle class before initialization.

Working Example

$('.slider').append('<div class="my-handle ui-slider-handle"><svg height="18" width="14"><path d="M13,9 5,1 A 10,10 0, 0, 0, 5,17z"/></svg></div>');

$('.slider').slider({
  range: "min",
  value: 10
});

.slider .ui-state-default {
  background: none;
}
.slider.ui-slider .ui-slider-handle {
  width: 14px;
  height: 18px;
  margin-left: -5px;
  top: -4px;
  border: none;
  background: none;
}
.slider {
  height: 10px;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.2/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<div class="slider"></div>

You also should set border:none to that css class.

This change only first handle in multihandle slider. In apiDoc you can see:"For example, if you specify values: [ 1, 5, 18 ] and create one custom handle, the plugin will create the other two."
