        <p>The jQuery UI Slider plugin makes selected elements into sliders. There are various options such as multiple handles, and ranges. The handle can be moved with the mouse or the arrow keys.</p>
<p>All callbacks receive two arguments: The original browser event and a prepared ui object, view below for a documentation of this object (if you name your second argument 'ui'):

<ul>
  <li><b>ui.handle</b>: DOMElement - the current focused handle

    <p>The jQuery UI Slider plugin uses the jQuery UI CSS Framework to style its look and feel, including colors and background textures. We recommend using the ThemeRoller tool to create and download custom themes that are easy to build and maintain.
</p>
  <p>If a deeper level of customization is needed, there are widget-specific classes referenced within the ui.slider.css stylesheet that can be modified. These classes are highlighed in bold below.
</p>
