as you may already know I'm new to jQuery, so Code-Improvements not belonging to this theme are still very allowed.
This is my HTML-Code:
<div style="display: inline-block; width: 120px;">
<div>
Bananas:
<br />
<input id="bananas_amount" />
<input id="bananas_amount_percent" />
</div>
<br />
<div id="bananas" style="height:200px;"></div>
</div>
And this is my horrifying js-code:
$( "#bananas" ).slider({
orientation: "vertical",
range: "min",
min: 0,
max: 100,
value: 20,
step: 5,
slide: function( event, ui ) {
$( "#bananas_amount_percent" ).val( ui.value + " %" );
// the code displays a percentage by standart, but I need the real value, too:
var bananas_amount_percent = $( "#bananas_amount_percent" ).val();
var bananas_amount_percent = bananas_amount_percent.replace(" %", "");
var bananas_amount = Math.round((weight / 100) * bananas_amount_percent);
$( "#bananas_amount" ).val( bananas_amount + " g" );
}
});
$( "#bananas_amount_percent" ).val( $( "#bananas" ).slider( "value" ) + " %" );
// again the real value (else the value would not be updatet on reload-reset)
var bananas_amount_percent = $( "#bananas_amount_percent" ).val();
var bananas_amount_percent = bananas_amount_percent.replace(" %", "");
var bananas_amount = Math.round((weight / 100) * bananas_amount_percent);
$( "#bananas_amount" ).val( bananas_amount + " g" );
(weight is 200)
However, it's working, except one "little" detail: not with the mousewheel! I already found out that I need this extension: https://github.com/brandonaaron/jquery-mousewheel/downloads
But I've really absolutely no idea how to implement this to my Slider (I've 5 on my Site btw).
Help pls, Thx!
The mousewheel plugin is too heavy for its role. I extracted the essence. Works great in all browsers.
$('#bananas').bind('mousewheel DOMMouseScroll', function (e) {
var delta = 0, element = $(this), value, result, oe;
oe = e.originalEvent; // for jQuery >=1.7
value = element.slider('value');
if (oe.wheelDelta) {
delta = -oe.wheelDelta;
}
if (oe.detail) {
delta = oe.detail * 40;
}
value -= delta / 8;
if (value > 100) {
value = 100;
}
if (value < 0) {
value = 0;
}
result = element.slider('option', 'slide').call(element, e, { value: value });
if (result !== false) {
element.slider('value', value);
}
return false;
});
EDIT: changed #slider
to #bananas
EDIT2: added triggering slide
event
Because you are using only value
property I pass for parameter object with only this property. If you will need something more, remember to add it to the mousewheel code.
EDIT3: added change cancelling ability when slide
function returns false
(just like in the documentation)
UPDATE: delta
shows not only the wheel direction, but also has a deeper meaning. It describes number of pixels to scroll. The default setting for scrolling is 3 lines which is 120 pixels, but it can differ.
If you want to retrieve only direction of wheel, change this:
value -= delta / 8;
to this:
value -= (delta > 0) ? 5 : (delta < 0) ? -5 : 0;
although delta === 0
should never occur.
UPDATE: Added part for newer versions of jQuery (e.originalEvent).
