Hi!
 
I love your slider control!  The only problem I'm having is setting the
position when the page loads... It seems like the setPosition() function
will only set the slider to 0 or 'maximum'.  Is there any way to set it to
a specific value?  Like 45%, etc.?
 
Thanks for your help!
 
Lori

Indeed there is, and I think I know what you have done wrong when trying to
do this.
The slider position must be set with a floating point (decimal point)
number between 0 and 1. To set it to 45%, you must use a fraction or
decimal point value:
setPosition(0.45)
The usual mistake is to try to use 45 instead of 0.45 - the slider is
forced to reduce this to the maximum value of 1.
Hope this helps
