jquery select problem

Question

In code below is function that converts slider class into slider control. It has function which is executed when "slide" event is raised.

  $(function(){
                $(".slider").slider({
                    value: 0,
                    min: 0,
                    max: 5,
                    step: 1,
                    slide: function(event, ui) {
                        $(".slideinput > input.slidevalue").val(ui.value);
                    }
                });
            });

This code is not working when I have multiple sliders on one page. (it is changing all of them) How can I fix it? I don't know how to set second element select statetment to select just element with unique id. (id is dynamically generated)

Some HTML to ilustrate positioning of the elements.

Any solution?

Answer 1

You can select an element with an ID like so:

$("#myelement")

Where "myelement" is the value of the ID.

Answer 2

I'm not sure about the "slide" event - but most jQuery events will have this set as the target element.

Have you tried doing a console.log(this); (assuming firebug) to see what you have?

You might be able to do this:

Updated with comment:

It seems that your input element is a child of the "sliders" parent, not the slider, changed the code block to reflect yours.

slide: function(event, ui) {
  $(this).parent().find("input.slidevalue").val(ui.value);
}
