Duplicating a CSS/ Javascript Slider

**spikeZ** · Jun 13, 2007, 00:38

Morning all,

I have a nifty little slider hacked and slashed in a frankenstein sort of fashion that does exactly what I want..... BUT..... I need 4 on a page and the scripts just arent playing ball

The problem I have is that on it's own my slider is perfectly happy sliding up and down and firing values off via an AJAX call, but how can I logically duplicate the slider and relevant code so that I can have more than 1?

Here is some code:

Javascript:

Code JavaScript:

/* slider functions - contrast */
var setPct = 100; 
var curPct = null; 
var activeSlide = null; 
var slideLeft = null; 
 
document.onmousemove = doMove; 
 
function doMove(e) { 
if (!activeSlide) 
return; 
 
var e = (e)? e : ((event)? event : null); 
 
if (e.pageX) { 
myX = e.pageX; 
} else if (e.clientX) { 
myX = e.clientX; 
} 
 
var myLeft = (myX - slideLeft); 
curPct = parseInt(myLeft/2); 
if (curPct > 100) 
return hideStuff(activeSlide); 
 
pctShow(curPct); 
 
var slider = document.getElementById(activeSlide); 
	slider.style.left = myLeft + "px"; 
} 
 
function showStuff(myID, theID) { 
	activeSlide = theID; 
 
	var myNode = document.getElementById(myID); 
	slideLeft = findX(myNode); 
 
var slider = document.getElementById(theID); 
	slider.style.display = "block"; 
} 
 
function hideStuff(theID) { 
	activeSlide = null; 
	slideLeft = null; 
	pctShow(setPct); 
 
	var slider = document.getElementById(theID); 
	slider.style.display = "none"; 
} 
 
function pctShow(theNum) { 
	var label = document.getElementById("pctLabel"); 
	label.innerHTML = theNum + "%"; 
} 
 
function pctSet(myID, theID) { 
	var theNode = document.getElementById(myID); 
	var myWidth = theNode.offsetWidth; 
	var myLeft = parseInt(myWidth * (curPct/100)); 
 
	var setNode = document.getElementById(theID); 
	setNode.style.display = "block"; 
	setNode.style.left = myLeft +"px"; 
	setPct = curPct; 
} 
 
function findX(obj) { 
	var curleft = 0; 
	while (obj.offsetParent) { 
	curleft += obj.offsetLeft 
	obj = obj.offsetParent; 
	} 
 
	return curleft; 
}

and here is the slider:

Code HTML4Strict:

</div> 
<div id="pctLabel">100%</div>
<br />GGGGG<br />
 
<div id="slideWrap_g" class="outerSlide" onmouseout="hideStuff('slider_g')"> 
<div id="slideMain_g" class="innerSlide" onmouseover="showStuff(this.id, 'slider_g')" onmouseout="hideStuff('slider_g')" onclick="pctSet(this.id, 'slideSet_g'); getText_g();">

</div> 
<div id="pctLabel_g">100%</div>
 
 
<div id="displayImg">img</div>
</body>
</html>

Sorry for the length of it but if anyone else is looking for something similar they can get it all

Cheers folks

Is FleXcroll, Flexible and Accessible Custom Scroll Bars what you want?

**spikeZ** · Jun 15, 2007, 01:04

Hi Kravvitz and thanks for replying

Unfortunately no, the FleXroll is the scroll bar adaptation for div elements etc. What I have is a slider input control for selecting a value from 1 - 100 on a sliding scale.
similar to http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/slider/slider.html but not that one as I didnt get on with it
