mouseUp For Jquery Simple Slider is not working

Question

I am using jquery simple slider( https://github.com/loopj/jquery-simple-slider ), its having onchange event for the slider. But not having the mouseup event. I am calling ajax request when the slider is moved. This is my currect code.

  $("#MyId").bind("slider:changed", function (event, data) {
 // The currently selected value of the slider
 alert(data.value);

 // The value as a ratio of the slider (between 0 and 1)
 alert(data.ratio);
 });

Onchange event is triggered several times when I move the slider. I am new to jquery, so can't figure out how to change the source code for mouseup event. I have also researched about this and I found a issue raised in the following link. https://github.com/loopj/jquery-simple-slider/pull/19/files But that doesn't seem to work. Thanks in advance.

This is my html code.

<input  type="text" id="MyId" name="Myname" value=""/>" perdata-slider="true" data-slider-range="0,100" data-slider-highlight="true" data-slider-step="1" ><span></span><span class="output">0</span>

This is my javascript:

<script>
        $(function () {
            $("[data-slider]")
                    .each(function () {
                        var input = $(this);
                        $("<span>")
                                .insertAfter($(this));
                    })
                    .bind("slider:ready slider:changed", function (event, data) {
                        $(this)
                                .nextAll(".output:first")
                                .html(data.value.toFixed(1));
        });
         });
    </script>

    <script>
        $(function () {
            $("[perdata-slider]")
                    .each(function () {
                        var input = $(this);
                        $("<span>")
                                .insertAfter($(this));
                    })
                    .bind("slider:ready slider:changed", function (event, data) {
                        $(this)
                                .nextAll(".output:first")
                                .html(data.value.toFixed(0));
                    });
        });
    </script>

Answer 1

There is a mouseup event on line 91 into the file I downloaded from jquery-simple-slider :

.mouseup(function(e, data) {

Just adding this return the value when mouseup is triggered :

}).mouseup(function(e) {
   if (_this.dragging) {
      alert(_this.value) //Added line
      _this.dragging = false;
      _this.dragger.removeClass("dragging");
      return $("body").css({
        cursor: "auto"
      });
   }
});

Edit 1 :

You can call a function sending the value:

}).mouseup(function(e, data) {
    if (_this.dragging) {
      myAjaxFunction(_this.value)//Added line
      _this.dragging = false;
      _this.dragger.removeClass("dragging");
      return $("body").css({
        cursor: "auto"
      });
    }
});

And create your own ajax function that will be triggered on mouseup event:

function myAjaxFunction(returnedValue){
    alert("I just release the plot, and the value is: "+returnedValue);
    //your Ajax stuffs
}

---

EDIT 2:

Ok, so your HTML seems to be wrong. Here is what I understand :

HTML (perdata-slider replaced with data-slider for the slider to work):

<input  type="text" id="MyId" name="Myname" value="" data-slider="true" data-slider-range="0,100" data-slider-highlight="true" data-slider-step="1" /><span></span><span class="output">0</span>

JS (I removed the perdata-slider part became useless):

$(function () {
    $("[data-slider]")
            .each(function () {
                var input = $(this);
                $("<span>")
                        .insertAfter($(this));
            })
            .bind("slider:ready slider:changed", function (event, data) {
                $(this)
                        .nextAll(".output:first")
                        .html(data.value.toFixed(1));
    });
});

And now, the JS for the source plugin file at js/simple-slider.js (be sure you are not calling the minified version of the plugin into your page : <script src="js/simple-slider.js"></script> and not <script src="js/simple-slider.min.js"></script> ) :

I made a global variable that is set to true on the element's mousedown event. Then I trap all mouseup's in a document mouseup event. If the global variable is true, then I know a mouse up on that element occurred.

<script>
  var globalMouseUpOnMyElement = false;

  document.addEventListener("mouseup", function () {
    if (globalMouseUpOnMyElement == true):
      globalMouseUpOnMyElement = false;
      //-- put my mouseup code here --      
    }
  });

  $(document).on('mousedown', '#myElement', function () {    
     globalMouseUpOnMyElement = true; 
   });


</script>
