Getting Started:
To use the slider component, first the sparkle component name-space has to be added in your page.
{code:xml}
<html xmlns:ann="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component/annotated"
..>
{code}
The second step is to apply yui-skin-name on the parent element of slider component.
{code:xml}
<h:form styleClass="yui-skin-name">
{code}
Now you ready to use slider component, here is the basic example:
{code:xml}
<ann:slider />
{code}
By now page should look like this:
{code:xml}
<html xmlns:ann="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component/annotated"
..>
<body>
<h:form styleClass="yui-skin-name">
<ann:slider />
<h:form>
<body>
<html>
{code}
YUI Attributes:
Value of slider:
The value attribute of slider represents the current value. The default is 0.
<ann:slider value="60"/>
//using managed bean
<ann:slider value="#{bean.value}"/>
Minimum value of slider:
The min attribute specify value at the far left ot top of the rail. Default is 0.
<ann:slider min="10"/>
Maximum value of slider:
The max attribute specify value at the far right or bottom of the rail. Default is 0.
Changing the axis:
This attribute specifies horizontal or vertical slider, "y" is for vertical. The default value is "x".
<ann:slider axis="y"/>
Defining the rail size of the slider:
The railSize attribute defines the heiht of vertical Slider rail and width of horizontal slider rail. Default value is 150px.
<ann:slider railSize="250px"/>
Defining the thumb image:
The thumbImage attribute takes the path to an image to use as the <img> for the thumb. Default is /skins/sam/thumb-classic-x.png
