I'm beginning to think this might not be possible? I have looked around thoroughly and cannot seem to find a case where user can input numbers into 2 different boxes, hit enter, then have the range slider adjust accordingly. This is what I am trying to accomplish.
I am using the jQuery UI range slider. However if there are other means of accomplishing this, I would love to hear it.
This is what I have so far: https://codepen.io/pen/
<div style="display:flex;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:6px;">
<label for="range_from" style="margin-right:7px;">From:</label>
<input type="text" id="range_from" name="range_from" style="color:#b9cd6d;font-weight:bold;width:60px;">
<label for="range_to" style="margin-left:7px;margin-right:7px;">To:</label>
<input type="text" id="range_to" name="range_to" style="color:#b9cd6d;font-weight:bold;width:60px;">
</div>
<div id="slider" style="width:180px;margin-top:20px;"></div>
$(function () {
var from = document.getElementById('range_from').value;
var to = document.getElementById('range_to').value;
var myValues = [from, to];
$("#slider").slider({
range: true,
min: 0,
max: 1000,
values: myValues,
slide: function (event, ui) {
$("#range_from").val("$" + ui.values[0]);
$("#range_to").val("$" + ui.values[1]);
}
});
});
Range values are displaying and change depending on position of the slider handles, which is great, but in addition to this I want user to be able to input their own numbers in the boxes then have the range slider adjust itself based on the new values.
I found this jsfiddle that is very similar to what I'm trying to accomplish, except user has to click a button to change the slider values as opposed to user hitting enter on keyboard or it just changing right as a new value is entered: http://jsfiddle.net/YSEGU/1
Maybe what I am trying to do is not possible?
Just add a listener on the change
event of the inputs like this:
['min', 'max'].map(x => document.getElementById(x)).forEach(x => x.addEventListener('change', function (e) {
let [min, max] = $("#slider-range").slider('values');
if (e.target.id === 'min') {
min = parseInt(e.target.value, 10);
} else if (e.target.id === 'max') {
max = parseInt(e.target.value, 10);
}
$("#slider-range").slider('values', [min, max]);
updateValues(min, max);
}));
const minInit = 75;
const maxInit = 300;
$("#slider-range").slider({
range: true,
min: 0,
max: 500,
values: [minInit, maxInit],
slide: function (_, { values: [min, max] }) {
updateValues(min, max);
}
});
updateValues(minInit, maxInit);
function updateValues(min, max) {
$("#amount").val(`\$${min} - \$${max}`);
}
