[CASE OPENED]Setting a Default Range of values with a slider control in HTML Composer

Is there a way to set a default range for the slider control in the HTML Composer? I need for the slider to be forced to its min and max range on load.

I have tried the below javascript addition in the onInitialUpdate()

IbComposer_setCurrentSelection('slider3', 100, false);

But all this does is place the max value in the value box. The slider itself stays set at 0 - 0.

Thanks,

Marita

From a static slider (set to range from 0 to 200 step 10), the below work perfectly

function onInitialUpdate() {
 IbComposer_setCurrentSelection('slider1', 120, false);
}

And the default value can be anything up to 200 from the moment it's a multiple of 10.
But even that, I can set it at 125. Will not be able to select it again from the slider since the step is by 10, but can be typed in the selection box

Martin, I have tried that but i only sets the box to a value of 120. The slider still remains at 0. Plus this is a range which needs the slider_from and slider_to to be set. I am not sure how to upload an image to show what I mean but it will visually not work as programmed. Thanks,

Here is my HTML code where only a slider is defined with a range from 0 to 200 and default to 120

From client, select the Public folder, right click on folder and select New / Text Editor. Paste the code and save it with htm extension. Then refresh your folder in AS and you will be able to see it with HTML Composer

Martin,

Yes this works great for a single slider. I am using a double slider. If you set properties/miscellaneous/Range to yes then it no longer works. The slider does not know which head to slide for the default number.

There must be something which says slider1_to and slider1_from but I have not been able to find enough documentation to determine the name for these values.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, my bad. I haven't realized to you were using the range option.

That is ok. I have searched all the technical content and have found no way to distinguish between the range of values to set the defaults. I'm going to open a case too and see if that will find an answer. If it does I will post it back to this chain.

Hi,
Can you use Dynamic Slider instead of the static one?

Dynamic slider will give you an option to set you starting point to where you want..
