Question

jquery ui events

Answer 1

A:

Change event only triggered on value change (as you already know). But you can "fake" value change:

var value = $('#mySlider').slider('option', 'value');
$('#mySlider').slider('option', 'value', value);

That's actually the way I do it now. I don't expect jQuery to listen on DOM events, but when the "min"-value is set explicitly, I would expect that it calls the change()-event, then.

You are right. In the documentation they state that change is only triggered in value change. So what about my new solution?

it's not a problem to set a value - is do this by $('#mySlider').slider('value', 50); and the change-event is fired then. But if I set the min-value later, and the current slider-value is below this value, it's not fired.

Ok, so why you don't trigger it manually everytime you set min-value? I don't think you have any other choice here.

It would be very annoying if this was so, because in my opinion that's what an event-trigger-system is for. I change the min-value on several places, and I would like to avoid writing a wrapper function for this. Hope there is another solution. But thanks anyway for your help.

I agree with you. You can also override the current function. Store jQuery.fn.slider in variable (currSlider), then in your override first call it (`currSlider()`) and then trigger the event if needed. Another possibility is to report it as a bug in jQuery bug tracking. Good luck anyway.
