hello,

I want to bind an input field to the jquery-ui slider handle. So whenever one value changes I want the other value to also change. Ex: if someone types 1000 into the minimum value input field I want the lower slider handle to move to the 1000 mark. Also if the user drags the lower slider handle to 1000 the input field should reflect that.

Making the slider reflect the changes in the input field is easy:

$(minYearInput).blur(function () {
    $("#yearSlider").slider("values", 0, parseInt($(this).val()));
});
$(maxYearInput).blur(function () {   
    $("#yearSlider").slider("values", 1, parseInt($(this).val()));
});

I just need help making the text fields mimic the slider.

$("#yearSlider").slider({
    range: true,
    min: 1994,
    max: 2011,
    step: 1,
    values: [ 1994 , 2011 ],
    slide: function(event, ui) {
        //what goes here?
    }
}); 

Any ideas?
