Just as a basic example I needed a slider on a recent app I built. Sure, there’s <input type="range"> but if you want it to work in IE or Firefox you’re better off dropping in a jQuery UI Slider.

The beauty is that <input type="range"> works in any browser. Some just render it as text input.

A fair point for a standard form, but try telling Firefox and IE users that they have to type in their audio volume manually on the jukebox I built.
