Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. The <div> element creates the widget, and we call its id attribute in jQuery to initialize it.
Drop down and copy markup to paste inside the body tags
Markup
Copy Code

<div id="slider"></div>

Markup	Copy Code
<div id="slider"></div>

Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to initialize the widget and set its range, step, and values.

Script	Copy Code
<script id="scriptInit" type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $("#slider").wijslider({ //because we are setting range to true, //two thumb buttons appear in the track //so that the user can select a range range: true, min: 0, max: 100, step: 2, //Because the range option is set to true, we use //the values option to set the beginning //and ending values for the default positions //of the thumb buttons. If range were set to false, we //would use the value option for the single thumb. values: [25, 50] }); }); </script>

Script

Copy Code

<script id="scriptInit" type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#slider").wijslider({
            //because we are setting range to true, 
            //two thumb buttons appear in the track
            //so that the user can select a range
            range: true, 
            min: 0, 
            max: 100, 
            step: 2, 
            //Because the range option is set to true, we use 
            //the values option to set the beginning
            //and ending values for the default positions 
            //of the thumb buttons. If range were set to false, we
            //would use the value option for the single thumb.
            values: [25, 50]
        });
    });  
</script>

Within the <head> tags, above the script to initialize the widget, set the size of the widget using CSS.
Drop down and copy markup to paste inside the head tags
Style
Copy Code

<style type="text/css"> #slider { width: 300px; } </style>
Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The widget appears like the following live widget. Since we set the range option to true, there are two thumb buttons that you can drag along the track to select a range, in addition to the increment and decrement buttons to either side.

Style	Copy Code
<style type="text/css"> #slider { width: 300px; } </style>
