Question

I’m trying to style a value within a jquery ui range slider handle.

I’m using this DEMO

Plus I’ve used this CSS and it’s still not working. Where am I going wrong?

<div class="demo">
    <div id="slider-vertical" class="sliderControl-label v-labeCurrent"></div>
</div>

.sliderControl-label {
    color: #CCCCCC;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: bold;
    position: absolute;
    top: -10px;
}

.ui-slider-handle .sliderControl-label .v-labelCurrent {
    color: #777777;
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 24px;
    position: relative;
    text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #FFFFFF;
    top: -2px;
    transition: color 0.15s linear 0s;
}​


$(function(){
    $("#slider-vertical").slider({
        orientation: "vertical",
        range: "min",
        min: 0,
        max: 100,
        value: 60,
        slide: function( event, ui ) {
            $( "#amount" ).val( ui.value );
            $(this).find('.ui-slider-handle').text(ui.value);
        },
        create: function(event, ui) {
            var v=$(this).slider('value');
            $(this).find('.ui-slider-handle .sliderControl-label .v-labelCurrent').text(v);
        }
    });    
});​

I’m getting my self in a right CSS mess.

Ok, I have fixed this. Thank you for your help guys. My issue was me not declaring the class of the value in the javascript.

$(this).find('.ui-slider-handle').html('<div class="value-label">'+ui.value+'</div>'); 

By Declaring this line, I could then style the value inside the handle. Cheers
