I've seen some nice examples of jQuery sliders that select date ranges: http://ghusse.github.com/jQRangeSlider/stable/demo/
And time ranges: http://marcneuwirth.com/blog/2011/05/22/revisiting-the-jquery-ui-time-slider/
But I'm looking for something that will be able to select date ranges down to the month, day, minute. It would be great to be able to have it as both a date range selector and a plain slider.
Has anyone seen an implementation like that? Would the normal jQuery UI slider using Unix time as my values make sense?
In case anyone finds this thread, I was able to accomplish this by converting my time stamps to unix time and then breaking up my data by month. The current month's slider expands to the full-width of the screen so you can select as much as possible by scrubbing. Arrow keys accomplish the rest.
