Range issue with ui-slider

Question

Hi,

I’m trying to set up a range with a slider. I would prefer if both cursors did not overlap in the same value. In other words, how do I get the sliders to freeze and stay put when the minimum value slider and the maximum value slider come next to each other. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Returning false from the slide function when they're about to collide seems to work: http://jsbin.com/eyoge3/3

Code from the jsbin:

slide: function(event, ui) {
    var oldMin = $("#slider").slider("values", 0);
    var oldMax = $("#slider").slider("values", 1);
    var newMin = ui.values[0];
    var newMax = ui.values[1];

    if( oldMin != newMin && newMin == oldMax )
      return false;
    else if( oldMax != newMax && newMax == oldMin )
      return false;
}
