Today I'm releasing a new jQuery plugin that I've been working on for a few days. This one adds a new control to your toolbox: the SpinControl. The SpinControl is a textbox for numbers only with two buttons on the side that in- or decreases the number input. It's one that software can use for many years, but never made its way into the web. That's why I made this script with the same features and some extra ones.
Some of the features are:
- Leave already supported number inputs alone (unless you want to override).
- Options like Min & Max values are possible, even another Step is an option.
- Using the Tab key will give focus to the buttons.
- Other keys like Up & Down, mouse events like mousewheel and key down for a few seconds will also in- or decrease the value.
- Not input bounded, so they can be used everywhere.
- No style is added in the script itself, so all is fully changeable with CSS. There's a little bit of help given via classes.
- Cross browser. Tested working in all major browsers: Internet Explorer 6 - 8, Firefox 1 - 3.5, Opera 9 & 10, Chrome 1 - 3 and Safari 4. It should work with newer browsers and may work with older browsers, no promise until tested.
