jQuery UI form elements?

+1

There's 4 slider modules see #1416822: Duplicate modules

@farhadhf I just point about duplication of efforts and suggest to join forces
there's another reply #1237668-12: sliderfield
so I recommend to continue discussion in #1416822: Duplicate modules

So the only thing that I think sliderfield does that this doesn't is provide a widget which can be used by fields. Does elements plan to include widgets? If so, should I start patching them on here? Or should I open a new thread for that?

How do we use this module? I've installed it in the normal way and I have jquery update but cannot see any sort of interface?
Btw Does it take cck values as inputs to max and Min values?

Oh right, ok thank you.

Perhaps if the modules "pretty-name" was Elements API it would make it clear(er) from first look ;)

Got an error when trying to apply #1 to both the 7.x-1.x and 1034690-horizontal-tabs branches:

git apply -v elements_2.patch

I am going to be working on adding webform support to the module in the tarball from the original issue post.

In my opinion, this kind of module is a must that provides all jQuery controls with Form API.

I think the key here is that it provides controls for Form API, and thus it's for module developers, most "duplicates" are for site builders, huge difference!

BTW is Elements module dead? No activity on the dev branch since so long.

Nope, not dead.

I applied the patch and re installed the module. I have a form element like this:

  $form['population'] = array(
    '#type' => 'jq_slider',
    '#start' => 0,
    '#end' => 300000,
    '#step' => 5000,
    '#value_prefix' => '$',
  );

But it is not working.

added ps!
