my name is ryan coughlin

First post in a very long time. Finally the summer is over and I am back at school for my last year. Now finally I have a lot of free time to work on this new layout and getting it solid, and getting back to blog posts to catch up on what I missed.

The jQuery UI Slider is one part of the jQuery UI collection that is really neat and can have many uses. So last year I created this jQuery UI Slider never posted about it and I figured now would be the best time.

I wrote this tutorial on using the slider close to a year ago.

Now I created another version of it, with some different styles, with full code examples as well. This will display the current value of the slider as you move up and down bar. Check out the jQuery UI Slider and start playing around with it.

Since I started working with jQuery and the UI. I have always wanted to work with the UI Slider. I always tried playing with it but I never got it execute an operation on slide. I created a slider to change the opacity of my background on my older temp site here at ryancoughlin.com.

UPDATE: Edit changes to the code with available demo below.javascript:;

UPDATE (9/16/09): Created a new jQuery UI Slider example, check it out.
