I finally found out what was the problem with the Slider CSS issues. The problem is simply that we are using YUI3 version 3.0.0, and the newest version is 3.1.1. From 3.0.0 to 3.1.0 the CSS class names and hierarchy changed substantially. If we simply use the correct CSS class names, then the styles are applied normally. You can try adding this to the slider demo pages inside a <style> element:

.yui-skin-sam .yui-slider-rail-x

.yui-skin-sam .yui-slider-rail-y

So, for now I can simply adjust the skin CSS files to use version 3.0.0 class names, unless we decide to use the 3.1.0 version of slider. I suppose it would be better to wait until the YUI team comes up with something definite.

However, this still does not fix the fact that YUI3 dynamically loads needed dependencies, including CSS files, which impedes overriding styles by using external CSS files. One option would be to enhance the outputStyle component to dynamically load any specified CSS files after YUI3 is done loading the files it requires.

Please port the slider to use the latest YUI 3.x release, which will also address the CSS styling issues.

Slider is an input component, so its singleSubmit/partialSubmit property should govern whether it does a singleSubmit to the server of itself, or whether it only updates a hidden input field and submits nothing, leaving it up to a submit button to submit the whole form later on. Currently, it's acting like a command component, where it's always doing a submit, but when it's true, it singleSubmits, and when it's false it does a full form submit.

Reminder that we still need a rime skin created for this component.

SliderEntry component has the following noted outstanding tasks/issues:

Component Name:

• Rename/repackage component to "SliderEntry", incl. comp. name, tag name ("sliderEntry"), all classnames, componentFamily, etc.
• Change componentFamily to "org.icefaces.component.SliderEntry"

Attributes:

• Following attribute appears to be missing:
• disabled

• clickableRail, "slideStart" seems like an none-useful mode (remove?).

Documentation:

• Component level descriptive doc all but missing from TLD/taglib doc. This can be brief summation with link to the Wiki doc page.

• Remove references to "Pass through to YUI...":
• axis
• min
• max
• length
• value

• The following attributes have insufficient doc descriptions:
• singleSubmit (use std. description)
• immediate (inherited?)
• valueChangeListener (should be inherited?)
• slideInterval (needs desc. of what it actually does/affects).
• thumbUrl
• submitOn
• clickableRail

• Wiki user doc:
• No high-level component description at all
• Remove references to YUI and YUI attributes.

SliderMeta:

• @ResourceDependency "yui3.js" this file is now empty, this should be removed.

SliderRenderer:

• String finalScript = "ice.yui3.slider.updateProperties(" + params + ");"; (Other comps use ice.component.slider type of pattern)

Slider:

• broadcast: The new generated getter/setter methods will handle some of the logic done here for setting the value.

Name change done.

disabled attribute added. However, when passed to the YUI widget, the widget seems to only add a disabled style class to the bounding box. The widget itself doesn't seem to be disabled at all.
