issues with script for initally hiding slider handle was created by Malte

Please help us help you and fill where relevant:

==================

Hello,

I recently realized that this very helpful script from the forum for initially hiding the handle in slider-questions seems to have an issue in Version 6 (see attached screenshot).
I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out fixing it and also help me how I could achieve a somewhat thicker line/bar on which the handle can be placed/moved.

Best wishes,
Malte

Hi,

for initially hiding the handle

You don't need a script to achieve this.
Just some css, like:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
/* Hide the tooltip */
.slider .tooltip {
    display:none !important;
}

/* Hide the handle initially */
.slider.slider-untouched .slider-handle {
    display: none;
}

/* Change the height of the track */  
.slider.slider-horizontal .slider-track {
    height: 10px !important;
}

/* Change the appearance of the handle
1. adapt to the new height
2. change color 
3. add a border  */   
.slider .slider-handle {
    background-color: blue !important;
    border: 2px solid red !important;
    top: 4px;
}
</style>

Best you investigate yourself using the webdevelopment tool of your browser (F12).
Here you can try and adapt to your needs, like color of the track.

And check the custom.css of your extended theme to set these things directly here.

Thanks Joffm!

This is (as usual) very helpful & easy to implement.
I also adapted the styling to hide the slider-selection (i.e. coloured in section of the slider-track).

Best,
Malte
