How to test the jQuery UI slider widget with Selenium IDE?

Question

We are using the jQuery UI slider widget in our web application and we want to automate testing of the UI with selenium IDE. We can\'t find a way to move the slider with seleniu

Answer 1

Just in case anyone else has this problem and needs another perspective...

I had this problem a while ago and solved it by having the slider populate a hidden field and I used that as my interface with selenium IDE. I wasn't required to verify the slider worked at all so there was no need to test it. I just wanted the value of the slider.
