I'm just exploring the use of the jquery slider and am keen to make use of the "disabled" functionality. Basically what I want is if a boolean checkbox is unticked (true) then the slider is disabled and enabled when the checkbox is ticked.

I've read and attempted to implement the following ( http://jqueryui.com/demos/slider/#option-disabled) to no avail. My code is as follows:

3. <script>
4. $(function() {
5. $( "#slider-range" ).slider({
6. range: true,
7. min: 0,
8. max: 500,
9. values: [ 75, 300 ],
10. slide: function( event, ui ) {
11. $( "#amount" ).val( "$" + ui.values[ 0 ] + " - $" + ui.values[ 1 ] );
12. }
13. });
14. $( "#amount" ).val( "$" + $( "#slider-range" ).slider( "values", 0 ) +
15. " - $" + $( "#slider-range" ).slider( "values", 1 ) );
16.    $( "#active" ).slider( "option", "disabled" );
17. });
18. </script>
19. 
    
20. <p>
21.         <input type="checkbox" id=  "active" name="active" />
22. <label for="amount">Price range:</label>
23. <input type="text" id="amount" style="border:0; color:#f6931f; font-weight:bold;" />
24. </p>
25. <div id="slider-range"></div>

I'm also keen to set the maximum and minimum values using a textbox but I think that the logic will be the same as the disable bit using:

1. $( ".selector" ).slider( "option", "max", 7 );

Any clues or tips would be hugely appreciated,
