I am trying to disable the click or mousedown event on the Slider tract. I want the slider to only move by dragging the handle. I tried adding preventDefault() and return false to the slider but no use. Its still triggering the jump. Example: http://jsbin.com/iguruh/1/edit I know this is similar to this jQuery UI Slider - Disable click on slider track but the solutions provided there are not working because i have the range option set to false. Appreciate any help.
