Putting a slider control on a web page

Like a volume control

I'm sure this would be possible, I'm just not sure where to start looking.

Anyone have any ideas? I just want a couple of sliders (something like the volume level sliders you get on Windows System Volume) on a webpage that send their value (say between 0 and 100) back to the server when the user "lets go" of the control.

Maybe javascript, ActiveX?

This will then be processed by an app running server side probably via a CGI script or .php, so I'm guessing the slider would send something like:-

www.mydomain.com/settings.php?slider_value=75

That would be ideal. I can do the server-side stuff, building the control is a bit tricky for me. I just need to be pointed in the right direction to start googling for some info.

Thanks,

TJ

Hi TJ - I GOT ONE FOR YOU!

I found one a while back, it's JavaScript, and really cool.

It's buried deep within my paid sites so I'll have to sticky you with instructions on accessing it.

I can bundle up the code as well perhaps and email it or post it if it's small enough.
