Please don't use these. I've seen too many mobile users get confused by these sliders, wondering why they can't manually slide them.


It's weird jQueryUI hasn't implemented touch events for dragging yet. Here's an example using YUI: http://www.orangebits.nl/code/gallery-slidecheckbox/gallery-...


You can manually slide these!


They look really good.

Hoever, on iOS5, especially when zoomed in - page just scrolls.

On the demo page, when not zoomed in, it hard to tell if it actually slides or not because the button is completely covered by my finger tip.


Not on a mobile device. (iOS 5 Chrome)


Not on Jellybean Chrome.

Regardless, like everyone else suggests.. please don't use these.


I opened an issue for that


It's actually poor UX for desktop users too. It is possible to slide the buttons with a mouse drag and have them fail to change state. I see this behavior on many sites trying to optimize for mobile, but it degrades the desktop UX.


Rich Hickey is a great thinker.


What do you use now? And why did you switch?


I agree. I feel that their project page has severely declined in usability from a couple years ago. I wish they would hire a UX and/or IA expert to sort that page out.
