"It's developed to work well responsive sites, supporting all large mobile browsers"

So how does it perform on Opera Mini or the most widely used stock Android browsers? I didn't see them in the list of browsers this was tested on.

Well, Opera Mini doesn't even support touch events -- so that's a tough one. Opera Mobile on the other hands works fine, and it will be added to the list.

A wide range of the browsers available on Android are supported, but I don't see the need to list all of them.

Good to know. So we'll always need fallbacks.

"A wide range of the browsers available on Android are supported"

Interesting, but what I'm getting at is: will this work for most Android users? 65% of Android devices have <4, which Chrome can't run on, and many of the remaining 35% don't have Chrome but an older stock browser. I'm genuinely curious whether this slider works on those most common browsers.

It should work with the classic Android Browser, but unfortunately we haven't been able to test it fully yet (no such device)... Hopefully we'll have an older phone to test with on monday, and I will update the library or the list of supported browsers accordingly. :-)

If you are genuinely curious, then why not fire up an AVD instance and check it out for yourself? We are hackers after all..

To the OP.. I did just that for you, and it works as expected: http://imgur.com/a/YdRbO

Cool, thanks a lot! That certainly makes it worthwhile to play with, I was looking for a small cross platform slider :).

Thanks! That didn't even cross my mind, to use the emulator :-)
