It needs API that make calls to javascript and vice versa. After the slider is moved it needs to pass 2 values to javascript – beginning-time and ending-time.
The Google Finance time slider has a graph in the slider and above the slider. We do NOT need the graph.

What we do need are the other 3 components:
– The controller with 2 handles that can be moved left and right for beginning time and ending time.
– A timeline showing the current time range (in blue on the Google version)
– 2 form boxes that show the current beginning time and ending time and that can be edited manually by the user.
The user can change the time range in 2 ways: by moving the 2 markers on the slider or by manually adding dates to the 2 fields.
If there’s a Javascript programmer out there that thinks that this can be done in JavaScript, you can also bid on the project. However, if it is done in JavaScript (and this might be preferable) it must look and function as well as the Google slider, meaning that is must be compact and easy to use, functioning looking very much similar to Google Finance version.
