Slider in a toolbar

[dario]

Hello

I'm trying to add a slider to a toolbar. I'm using the script.aculo.us slider, version 1.7.0.

This is my code (tb is the toolbar object which has been already initialized in the page onload event):

var zoomSlider=null;

function initSlider()
{
zoomSlider = new Control.Slider('handleDiv', 'sliderDiv',
{
values: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19],
increment: 10,
onChange: function(value) { setZoomLevel(value); }
});
zoomSlider.setValue(INITIAL_ZOOM_LEVEL);

tb.add(zoomSlider);
}

This code does not generate any errors but no slider is shown on the toolbar. Any hint?
Thanks in advance!

Well, you can't just add some fancy controls to the toolbar. I don't know how Control.Slider looks like internally, but the documentation for Toolbar.add() says:

If arg is a Toolbar.Button, it is added. If arg is a string, it is wrapped in a ytb-text element and added unless the text is "separator" in which case a separator is added. Otherwise, it is assumed the element is an HTMLElement and it is added directly.

In your case it's neither Toolbar.Button, nor a string. So the only thing left is HTMLElement, which is a raw DOM-element. Does Control.Slider expose some kind of underlying dom property?

Thanks liggett78,
I'll go through the control.slider documentation to check if it expose some dom property.

Is there a way to do this now with the new slider control? If so a simple example would be great!
