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

Question: Do any comparable (dual) Slider control exist that isn't such a large download?

A: 

How about

jQuery Slider plugin (Safari style)

But to be honest 29kb isn't fat is it?

Here is another alternative that I found today so I thought I'd share it! I haven't used it, and I don't know how heavy it is, but the folks that built it seem to have a very strong focus on accessibility, which may or may not be important for your project.
