<h1>Display a Custom Horizontal Scrollbar (Handle) Using jQuery UI</h1>
<p>Slide the custom horizontal scrollbar below to change the value and image in the textbox below.</p>
<div id="idWrap">
	<!-- Custom Horizontal Scrollbar -->
	<div id="slider01"></div><br>　<br>
	<!-- Change the value in the textbox -->
	<input size="2" id="idy_font" name="y_font" type="text" value="1" /><br>　<br>
	<!-- Switch image according to the value -->
