I am using the JQuery Slider control for use as a double sided slider.

It's a great UI control but I'm looking for an alternative that isn't so "fat".

Right now, just for me to use the Slider control, I have to include:

  • JQuery core
  • JQuery UI core
  • JQuery Slider plugin

When I both minimize using Google's awesome Closure (minimizer) and GZIP the JavaScript, I'm still at around 29kb.

Do a comparable Slider control exist that isn't such a large download?

A: 

I used this a while back, it's ~5kb ungziped + unClosure'd - and it works well.

@blake, that looks awesome. I should have mentioned that I'm actually using the Slider as a double-handle slider. Does this work like that as well?

@AndyB I don't think so unfortunately, I think becuase that's quite niche you'd have to go for a large JS libary, sorry. Or you could build one yourself ;)
