This is the official page of the Slider: http://blog.egorkhmelev.com/2010/03/jquery-slider-update/

Everything is great about this Slider except that it doesn’t allow you to refresh it settings live without reloading the page. For example it would be very useful to be able to change the slider scale, dimension / currency and/or other settings. And it is must have if you building Jquery Price Slider and need to change scale depending on user input.

The problem is that on official plugin page comments section is closed, so I wasn’t able to contact the author. But after reading all comments on page I found that a lot of people were trying to do the same. One guy Mark, pointed me to the right direction, but his solution didn’t quite work. Then I spent some time working on the plugin, and with the help of Jeff B I found the solution .

Call slider re-draw/re-create state:

$("#Slider1").slider("redraw", { from: 0, to: 1000, scale: [0, '|', 500, '|', '1000+']});

Add this javascript code in FILE /javascripts/jquery.slider.js LINE: 420

			case "redraw":
				self.domNode.remove();

				if(isDefAndNotNull(args[1])){
					$.extend(true,self.settings,args[1]);

					self.settings.interval = self.settings.to - self.settings.from;
					self.settings.value = self.inputNode.attr("value");
       				self.is = {
            			init: false
        			};
        			self.o = {};
        		}

				self.create();

				break;

Hopefully it will make someones day better.

Enjoy!
