FC-TrackBar 0.4.1 - a new beginning

Look into the past

Not so long ago, in the articles of the JavaScript section, trackbars were presented to the general public:







The project unexpectedly received a sequel. The comrades abarmot and 1602 joined the development, and an active discussion led to an improvement in the current and implementation of the new functionality. Therefore, there was a desire to make the project its own "home", where it will live and develop, which was successfully implemented at sourceforge.net . Now, instead of writing an article for each change in trackbars, the author can easily update archives and descriptions, and you can download the latest versions yourself.

At the moment, the descriptions have managed to mess with the following pages:

* Once again about the trackbar

* JS-TrackBar, the fourth version of the runners



On the links you can get acquainted with the project and its development.



Separately, I would like to mention comrade mongi , who, based on version 0.4.0, took and created his own branch of the project . There was a temptation to use his work as a basis, however, the demo revealed serious problems in the Opera browser and strong “brakes” with some examples. Therefore, its own already stable version was subjected to further refinement.

Please love and respect

The project FC-TrackBar , in the current release version 0.4.1 .



The new version is more stable. Some bugs were fixed and functionality of serifs was added, which you can find in the demo . The second trackbar “year of birth” was added serifs using a small number of new settings:



* showBigTicks - by default, false, a flag that allows the display of large serifs, to which the corresponding value is always signed.

* bigTicks — defaults to 1, the number of large serifs on the trackbar.

* smallTicks - the default is 1, the number of small serifs between large ones. If there are no big ones, just their number on the trackbar.

* showSmallTicks - the default is false, a flag that allows the display of small serifs.

Cross-browser compatibility

Performance tested in:



******* WIN:

- IE6, IE 7;

- FF1.5, FF2.0;

- Mozilla 1.7.2;

- Opera 8.02, Opera 8.5, Opera 9.01, Opera 9.2, Opera 9.50.10048;

- Safari 3.1



******* nix:

- Opera 9.27;

- Firefox 2.0.0.13;



In the operas below the eighth version and Netscape 7.1 there is no stable operation. However, at the moment, these testers should only be used by testers and people left to live out the 20th century :-)

Future

There are many tasks to expand the current functionality. The development of plug-ins for well-known frameworks, such as jQuery, is relevant. If among the readers there are those who wish to participate - write in a personal. For the convenience of group work, there is a subversion on sorsforge:

fc-trackbar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fc-trackbar



I will especially be glad to see comrades abarmot , 1602 and mongi !



Thank you all for your criticism and suggestions! You make our project better :-)
