Range slider widget (dojox.widget.RangeSlider)

[guest]

This is a slider widget using two slider handles for selecting a range. It's subclassing dijit.form.Slider. Attached is an early version of this widget. It was tested in ie6, ff and safari.

You can test the widget here: http://tobias.klpstn.com/dojo/dojox/widget/tests/test_RangeSlider.html

can I suggest we renamespace this for dojox.form? also I experienced strange behavior in FF2/Mac with selection.

[guest]

i also tested it with ff2/mac. just tell me, what strange thing happened. as i said above, it is an early version, so there could be some minor bugs. in my opinion, there is a problem concerning, how i set the value within the widget. have to rethink, how i gonna implement it.

concerning the namespace: i'll rename it to dojox.form and attach it then.

it would be great, if someone could review this widget.

The left arrow key only moves the left handle and right arrow only moves the right handle. We need a way to move both handles both ways.

Neat widget.

A comment about keyboard support: It should include pgup/pgdn/home/end in some fashion and be consistent with single range slider. See the "Keyboard" section of http://dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9/part-2-dijit/form-validation-specialized-input/slider.

The range slider currently supports home/end, but only for the "left" thumb (probably related to what gets focus).

Also, it moves the left thumb to the beginning and end of the entire range. It should be restricted to the current value of the "right" thumb (you can't have a "negative" range between the thumbs).

now with better tab-support

thx for the input.

i've now changed the widget to support better keyboard handling. the widget now has 3 tab-steps:

1. Tab-Step: left/bottom-handler selected (change minimum value with left/right) 2. Tab-Step: bar selected (change minimum and maximum value with left/right) 3. Tab-Step: right/top-handler selected (changed maximum value with left/right)

I would appreciate new opinions.

AND: CLA is already signed :-)

this looks good and ready for dojox.form -- passing to project maintainer for committing. (or mccain, feel free to)

Can you try and re-attach the patch file? It seems to be corrupted (it appears to be just a gzipped HTML file...not a tar file)

[nathan]

I was actually able to pull the files from http://tobias.klpstn.com...so no need to attach (as long as the files there are the correct ones)

Hopefully this archive works now
