Default Selectors

By default, all <input> elements with the type="range" attribute and data-type="range" and data-role="slider" are displayed as Tizen Web UI sliders.

Manual Constructor

To manually create a slider component, use the component constructor from the tau namespace

HTML code:

<input id="slider"/>

JS code:

var sliderElement = document.getElementById("slider"),
    slider = tau.widget.Slider(sliderElement);

The constructor requires an HTMLElement parameter to create the component, and you can get it with the document.getElementById() method. The constructor can also take a second parameter, which is an object defining the configuration options for the component.

HTML Examples

To create slider input:

<input type="range" name="slider-1" id="slider" value="60" min="0" max="100"/>
