Can't get rangeslider.js to work

Question

I am trying to use the rangeslider jQuery plugin: http://andreruffert.github.io/rangeslider.js/

However, it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

<input
    type="range"
    min="10"                    // default 0
    max="1000"                  // default 100
    step="10"                   // default 1
    value="300"                 // default min + (max-min)/2
    data-orientation="vertical" // default horizontal
>

$( document ).ready(function() {
    $('input[type="range"]').rangeslider();
});

Thanks. I was expecting the slider to have the same design as the examples: andreruffert.github.io/rangeslider.js Would that just be css-styling then? Thought it was default and it doesnt seem like I can target the handle and stuff using css.. – Unbidden

Answer 1

The actual answer is down to the polyfill option;

Feature detection the default is true. Set this to false if you want to use the polyfill also in Browsers which support the native <input type="range"> element.

Heres an easy way to get started:

$('input[type="range"]').rangeslider({
    polyfill : false,
    onInit : function() {
        this.output = $( '<div class="range-output" />' ).insertAfter( this.$range ).html( this.$element.val() );
    },
    onSlide : function( position, value ) {
        this.output.html( value );
    }
});

Exactly what I needed to see when I needed to see it. – Malorie

the developer should add polyfill: false gotcha in his docs. I just wasted 2 hours fixing everything in the html page before ending up here. – Bermuda

tell me about, thats why I added the answer. The docs are poorly written and easy to miss the reason why it wasn't working – Geniculate

Didn't work for me - all I see rendered on the screen is this "1" - <div class="range-output">1</div> – Indwell

This is a specific issue for yourself then, create a new issue and send me the SO url and ill take a look – Geniculate

Answer 2

What have I learned is that <input> needs to have also attribute [role="input-range"] for this to work:

<input type="range" min="1" max="100" value="10" role="input-range">

$('input[type="range"]').rangeslider({
  polyfill: false
});

It worked for me also, but only on document ready

 $(document).ready(function() {
        $('[role="range"]').rangeslider({
            polyfill : false,
            onInit : function() {
                this.output = $( '[role="input-range"]' ).html( this.$element.val() );
            },
            onSlide : function( position, value ) {
                this.output.html( value );
            }
        });
    });
