Extend the slider plugin with a enable and disable function like:

<script src="/slider/js/bootstrap-slider.js"></script>
<script>
$.fn.slider.Constructor.prototype.disable = function () {
    this.picker.off();
}
$.fn.slider.Constructor.prototype.enable = function () {
    if (this.touchCapable) {
        // Touch: Bind touch events:
        this.picker.on({
            touchstart: $.proxy(this.mousedown, this)
        });
    } else {
        this.picker.on({
            mousedown: $.proxy(this.mousedown, this)
        });
    }
}
</script>

<input id="slide" type="text" class="span2" value="" data-slider-min="-20" data-slider-max="20" data-slider-step="1" data-slider-value="-14" data-slider-orientation="vertical" data-slider-selection="after">

<button id="enable">Enable</button>
<button id="disable">Disable</button>
