Usage Guidelines

Values must be known

Do not use sliders when values are unknown or subject to change.

Exact control

If an exact number is needed, consider an input box instead.

Consider the scale

The track width needs to allow sufficient control of the value.

Show the range values

Where possible, display the min and max values of the slider.

Be transparent

Use tooltips to display the current value when hovering over the slider.

Don’t be evil

Please never do this.
