The design of the slider is to react to the following keypresses while the slider handle is active (by click or tab focus): UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, HOME, END. Whether horizontal or vertical orientation, UP and RIGHT will always increase the value by one step. DOWN and LEFT will always decrease it by one step. HOME will jump to the min, END will jump to the max. If you're interested, this is all specified on the slider design and planning wiki page:
http://wiki.jqueryui.com/Slider (see Section 3) One of the goals of jQuery UI is to provide consistent and standard User Interface controls. I wonder if you've considered that changing the way your UI Slider behaves could prove confusing to users. That said, I don't know if there's a supported way to override the existing behavior and introduce your own. - Richard On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 9:44 AM, dirk w <[email protected]> wrote: > > hello ui community, > i would like to make my slider movable by the keyboard arrows like > this: > > left = left > right = right > up = left edge > down = right edge > > i already got the hot keys plugin (http://code.google.com/p/js- > hotkeys/ <http://code.google.com/p/js-%0Ahotkeys/>) running. > i am getting the actual position of the slider now but i don't know > how to move it. > > $(document).bind('keydown', 'left', function() > { > var reglerPos = $("#crossfaderHandler").position().left; > // how to move the crossfader: > // left position - 10px, or so; > }); > > also i noticed that it was already possible to move the slider to the > left and to the right (with the arrow keys) if you clicked it before. > i guess this is something the browsers are doing? is it possible to > turn this off (since i am going to replace it with my own > functionality anyway)? > > looking forward to reading from you > dirk > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery UI" group.
