Question

I am trying to make a web app in Dashcode that uses a range slider. I see that the code library has code for “get range slider value” and “set range slider value,” but there is no range slider part. So how do I make a range slider? I’m very new to Javascript.

Answer 1

I was able to find the “Slider” under “Buttons” in the Library after clicking on “Parts”. Or from the beginning:

1. Window/Show Library
2. Click “Parts” in upper left.
3. Click “Buttons” under Parts Library
4. The “Slider” is the last item on the list (mine are sorted alphabetically).

[Note those steps were done using the new DashCode 3.0 that came with Snow Leopard.]

If you don’t see the slider there, could you update your question with exactly where you’re looking and what Parts you do see? Perhaps we can guide you from there.
