ScalingSlider

A slider control based on YUI's Drag & Drop Utility that will scale with the browser window.

Please note that this is an experimental, unsupported library. We built it as a prototype, and not only is it not production-ready, it's actually broken. Feel free, however, to modify and improve it! ScalingSlider is released under the BSD license.

Usage

<div id="scalable-area"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    require('ScalingSlider', function() {
        var slider = new ScalingSlider('#scalable-area', {
            direction: 'horizontal'
        });
        
        slider.setup();
    });
</script>

Requirements & dependencies

To generate build files for production use and testing, you'll need two Ruby libraries, Jake and Helium.

gem install jake helium

ScalingSlider depends on JS.Class, Ojay, and the YUI Drag & Drop Utility. Running the jake command in the library's main directory will build a packages file to allow ScalingSlider to be used with the JS.Packages on-demand loading system. This also allows the library to be served via the Helium deployment system.

Alternatively, if you want to use a different loading system, the following dependencies will need to be loaded before including the library in the page.

• JS.Class
• Ojay
• Ojay.HTML
• YAHOO.util.DD

To run the test suite, simply amend the index.html file in the test directory to point to your Helium server, and open it in a browser.
