Leon,

> 1) Being able to set the slider start position

Immediately after creating the slider, call the setPosition method:
var myslider = new slider(
 ...
);
myslider.setPosition(0.5);

> 2) Being able to set the slider as 'disabled'

in the funtions that are called when the slider is moving or stops moving,
use the setPosition method to reset the slider to the last known position
instead of performing the usual processing.

var sliderIsDisabled = true;
var lastKnownPosition = 0.5;

var myslider = new slider(
 ...
);
myslider.setPosition(lastKnownPosition);

function moveFunction(sliderPosition) {
    if( sliderIsDisabled ) {
        myslider.setPosition(lastKnownPosition);
    } else {
        ... do something with sliderPosition ...
    }
}

function moveFunction(sliderPosition) {
    if( sliderIsDisabled ) {
        myslider.setPosition(lastKnownPosition);
        ... maybe warn them that they need to do
             something else to enable the slider ...
    } else {
        lastKnownPosition = sliderPosition;
        ... do something with sliderPosition ...
    }
}

I may add this later as a proper property, but for now, this would work
just as well.

Hope this is useful
