jQuery UI range slider - grab the bar between the handles

Question

Is there any way to modify a jQuery UI range slider so that you can grab the bar between the handles to slide the selected range? If you try to grab the bar, it jumps to one of the handles.

This page has an example of the sort of behavior I'm looking for - it's at the bottom.

Answer 1

I assume you are referring to the jQuery UI Slider. I'm quite sure that it doesn't have the feature you are looking for. But that would be a pretty cool add-on to it. If you end up enhancing Slider to do this, I'd love to see it.
