GWT Slider

[mkn]

Hi

I need for a project a slider (an important requirement). Therefore I
tested the following sliders:

-SmartGWT => there is a huge overhead. My page has only sliders (10 of
them) but since SmartGWT is a full-fledged library it takes up to 5
seconds to display the page (respectively to load the SmartGWT
javascripts). This is not acceptable because the user sees 5 seconds
long a white page.
-JQuery slider => for unknown reason, this slider does not work in
IE8.
-GWT Incubator => does not work with GWT 2.4

Does anyone else have an idea what else I could try?

You can try the slider coming from the Enhance plugin of gwtquery :

Make it yourself and use code of projects like Smartgwt and Gxt as
example.
It's not very difficult: just use an Animation class in gwt and change
the css settings..
In this way, I have made dozens of animations myself, including slide
north/../south..., fade in/out, etc...

The time searching a sliders will be the same time to make it yourself
and you don't have upgrade problems like mentioned above.

That Nivo Slider seems to be very interesting.
I'll be giving it a chance.
Salud!

I have not tried this but it looks interesting

I had a look at the incubator project but it had some problems with
firefox. The are a lot of open issues on this project - not sure if
that a reflection on the complexities of a slider or the project
itself.

I updated SliderBar from the incubator a while back:

Lately, I've just been using <input type="range">. FF doesn't support the element yet, but you can add it programmatically.
