I have a range: true
slider and want to show progress like the progress bar between the two handles of the slider. Kind of like this, http://jsfiddle.net/cG8qB/, except this will be happening in between the two handles of my slider instead of the whole slider like in that example and I only need the color updating instead of a slider handle.
So basically, I want to change the color of the part in between the two slider handles to something like the behavior of a range: min
slider where the "min" is the left handle of my slider and the handle of this range: min
slider is hidden.
Turns out the answer was in the original jsfiddle the whole time
This does the trick.
$("#slider").find('.ui-widget-header').css('width', x + '%');
This also works.
$("#slider div").css('width', x + '%');
