In addition to what others have said, here's a lateral way of approaching any jQuery-UI documentation issue.
Have a look at the development-bundle/ui folder you should have as part of your jQuery-UI download. Therein observe that you have a bunch of files, one of which is ui.slider.js Now I *know* that nobody should need to resort to this but, as a practical matter, it *always* pays to better know your tools. An added benefit is the jQuery-UI source code is very good, and I always learn something when I poke-around in-there. This ultimately makes me a better developer. If you open ui-slider.js, note that an object named defaults is at the very bottom. Most if not all jQuery-UI source files are structured like this: options at the bottom. It's consistent, and that's very cool. Discovery strategies that work for one UI plugin work for all UI plugins. So open the source file, fly directly to the bottom and, from there, all questions are ultimately answered by following the use of the various defaults throughout the source code. I'll bet you'll discover a lot of really neat things this way. In this sense, the documentation really *is* the source code, and the jQuery-UI source code is great. **--** Steve On Nov 1, 2:08 pm, Outre99 <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm new to JQuery and JQuery UI.
