Slider to Form input

[inforeqd]

I have cgi forms that utilize perl scripts to perform their function. However I now need to add a slider bar because the options available are entirely too great.

I have no code for javascript on this, I can get some basic sliders but how would I submit the final choice into my perl form. I saw an earler post entitled FORMS and this
does look to be what I need, albeit without the slider
portion.

Anyhelp would be great

You can do this with CSS.

COPY AND PASTE THIS CODE INTO YOUR BODY.
Just change the height and width accordingly

-->


<style type="text/css"><!--
#someLayer{
overflow:auto;
height:100px;
width:30px;
}
-->
</style>

<div id="someLayer"> some content with a scroll bar</div>

So should I use a CSS or develop a java slider? Now I am confused. I would like to be able to use the slider to scroll a large amount of numerical items. Shouldnt this be in javascript?

Please explain .. I've looked around alot for a good example but I havent found one nor have I found any good explanations.
