I have a multiple handle slider and I want to display actual text on each of the handles. For example, if I had three sliders A, B, and C those would appear on the handles. I know how to link the handles to a label which displays the current value but that is not what I want. I found a way to do this with jQueryUI Slider but that has its own limitations of only two handles and the increased width of the handle to accommodate the label is not taken into account when visualizing the slideable range.
To get a visual of what I am trying to create it is similar to a gantt chart. I have an minute range (lets say 00:00 to 23:55). The scale of the slider would be 5 minutes. I want to be able to say that the handle represents a 5 hour block and must be between 03:00 and 19:00. A scheduler for a block of time in a visual sense.
Any ideas or direction for another control to look into? Whatever it is I need it to be able to load the values for handles and ranges from a database and update the database with the final placements when the user is done.
Thanks
