JQuery Slider for Mobile application

Question

I would like to use the JQuery slider for my mobile application

http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Slider

However, using the Slider plugin, requires me to use the entire JQuery core (29kb) + Slider plugin (6kb).

Typically, that's okay but for a mobile application - that's a lot of data.

Question: Anyway I can use the JQuery Slider and eliminate any bloat that might exist in the core? I would really like to reduce this 29kb core down to something much smaller. (e.g. just using Sizzle + plugin or something like that if that worked)

(Keep in mind the file sizes above is for both gzipped and compressed JS)

Answer 1

I wish JQuery would have a slimmed down core version too for mobile use.

Answer 2

+1

I agree. More attention needs to be on: 1) slimming down the size of JQuery Core, 2) mobile devices
