DateTime range slider

[ScottChapmanParticipant]

I found this http://www.jqwidgets.com/community/topic/range-slider-datetime/

Which suggested DateTime sliders were coming a few years ago. But I can’t seem to make it work nor find a demo. Do you have a demo of a DateTime slider. Note I specifically want a range slider, not a DateTimeInput — unless there is a visual DateTimeInput that acts like a slider.

We have a range selector: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxrangeselector

Thanks–don’t know how I missed that. Thanks for putting me back on track.

A couple of notes from playing with it a little bit:
API Reference page has a couple of typos: it appears that labelFormat and markerFormat should be labelsFormat and markersFormat.

When dealing with long time ranges (long being relative), the minorTicksInterval can have a significant impact on the time to initialize the widget, even when showMinorTicks & snapToTicks are false. So if you are setting a large time range, it’s best to set the minorTicks to something significant relative to that time range. I.E. don’t set or leave minorTicksInterval at 1 minute when setting a range of a few months or it may take half a minute to initialize the widget. That’s not really realistic relative to the number of minutes per pixel in such a case, but the point is one can’t be lazy and leave the minor interval at 1 minute regardless of the time range.
