Scripting	object.style.behavior = "url('slider.htc')"
object.addBehavior ("slider.htc")

Remarks

The behavior-defined members listed in the preceding table are not accessible through script until the window.onload event fires. Waiting for this event to fire ensures that the page is completely loaded, that all behaviors have been applied to corresponding elements on the page, and, consequently, that all the behavior's properties, methods, and events are available for scripting. Attempting to use any of the behavior-defined members will result in a scripting error indicating that the object does not support that particular member.

The slider behavior inserts a slider control into a Web page and is a method for Web authors to allow users to select a value from a gradient. A slider can be placed on the page with a vertical or horizontal orientation. Values are selected by dragging the slider with the mouse. Tick marks are provided according to an author-specified range.

When the slider behavior is included in a FORM, a NAME/VALUE pair is submitted.

The slider.htc file can be downloaded from the slider sample page.

In addition to the members and styles previously listed, the slider behavior supports:

height
margin
padding
width
