Question

The Jquery UI Slider Sometimes showing -1 value in firefox 10.0.2 How to fix this ?

The problem is in the demo of the orginal plugin site jqueryui.com/demos/slider/range.html

Answer 1

Its a bug with jQuery UI library.. others also reported it with version 1.8.16.. You can see it here http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/8108

As per the comments in the thread I have checked it with 1.8.17 and its working great.. so seems like the bug got re introduced in 1.8.18..

Try changing the files to version 1.8.17.. it should work!

Answer 2

I noticed this when working with Firefox 10.0.2 for OS X, and found that it existed for jQuery UI 1.8.16, 1.8.17 and 1.8.18, so unfortunately Anz's solution didn't work for me.

I made a really simply patch-job of it in the meantime, by simply going to function I use to update the sliders' labels' and rewriting it:

function SlideFunction(sSlider, ui) {
    if (ui.value == -1) {
        ui.value = 0;
    };
    $(sSlider).val(ui.value);
};

Where sSlider is a local string variable that contains the ID of the slider being moved.
