Jquery-ui-slider prevent max and min beeing set to the same value

I am using a jquery-slider for a selector in which you can set a min and a max value for a price.

image of the slider

My problem is that its posible to set max and the min selector on the same value.

Example: max and min same value

Is there a way to prevent this?

I have read through all the posible options-parameters of the plugin and it seemed like there is no way to solve this without editing the plugin ?

Thank you for your help

Edit

here as example the standart slider as shown on https://jqueryui.com/slider/#range

 $( function() {
    $( "#slider-range" ).slider({
      range: true,
      min: 0,
      max: 500,
      values: [ 75, 300 ],
      slide: function( event, ui ) {
        $( "#amount" ).val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] );
      }
    });
    $( "#amount" ).val( "$" + $( "#slider-range" ).slider( "values", 0 ) +
      " - $" + $( "#slider-range" ).slider( "values", 1 ) );
  } );

Solution

  • The solution was to add the following code to slide:

        if(ui.values[ 0 ] +19 >= ui.values[ 1 ]){
      return false;
    }

    You can also test it in the following snippet 

    $( function() {
    $( "#slider-range" ).slider({
      range: true,
      min: 0,
      max: 500,
      values: [ 75, 300 ],
      slide: function( event, ui ) {
        if(ui.values[ 0 ] +19 >= ui.values[ 1 ]){
          return false;
        }
        $( "#amount" ).val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] );
      }
    });
    $( "#amount" ).val( "$" + $( "#slider-range" ).slider( "values", 0 ) +
      " - $" + $( "#slider-range" ).slider( "values", 1 ) );
  } );
