This is wonderful. I especially like the display range of dates. Is there any plan to add date editing via calendar selection as well?

The slider on the homepage is just a static image. Why not make that a working slider?

This confused me for a minute. Such a weird thing to do for a landing page!

+1, I thought my browser was somehow incompetent for a second ;-)

The sliders are extremely nice by the way!

Yeah, this is bizarre.

Touch performance is pretty weak on iPhone 4S. Though that could be due to webkit, I think it might make more sense to increase the touch region (at this point, it seems to only respond when you touch the text.

I was coming here to say this as well. Made me think this was just a poorly written plugin that didn't work in my browser.

Hi guys,

I'm the author of this plugin, and first of all : thanks for your comments!

About the static image, I preferred a faster homepage to load. But according to your comments, I will at least create a link to the demo with this image.

This way, clicking on it will redirect you to the demo.

Great job on the plugin - one of the rare jQuery plugins to make the frontpage! Should tell you that you've created something awesome :)

re. the demo on the frontpage - even I was left trying to manipulate the image of the range slider on the homepage. Having a simple demo on the homepage would be nice!

Having said that, what prompted you to create this plugin? The concept of the range slider? Which purpose do you see it best serve?

I'll second everyone's comments - make the slider on the homepage functional, the first instinct when you see it is to try it out, and it's disappointing when it does not work.

Will examine tomorrow or laptop, but all examples are badly broken on nexus 7. Drop me an email if you want screen grabs and more feedback. Love the idea, thought.
