slider handles cover slider handles on the left

Description

I ran into a problem with the sliders (see slider demo page - 3. Multiple handles):

When I drag the left handle over the right handle I cannot move then left handle any more. The mouse grabs the right handle - which cannot be moved any further to the right to uncover the left handle.

This behaviour occurs because the hotspot of a handle is set to the center of the handle and if the hotspots of two handles meet, the right handle covers the left handle. I would like to set the hotspot for every handle separately. This would also allow using different background images for the left and right handle.

I have added a option to set the hotspot of the handles (see slider-demo.zip)

thats a nice enhancement.

My idea was to give the lastly touched handle a higher z-index than the other sliders?

wouldn't this fix it?

I have extended ui.slider.js in the following ways:

  • hotspots for handles
  • moveTo() for multiple handles, startValues option
  • sliderReconfigure(), allows to change minValue, maxValue and stepping of a slider

this code is mainly untested and will probably break existing code

modifying the z-Index would also be nice but would not solve my problem

This won't be fixed because resolving it would cause a lot of other issues. Please change the zIndex yourself if you want to prevent that issue. Thanks.
