You can hardly turn a virtual page corner these days without being bombarded by JavaScript / AJAX slider controls. Watch out, here comes a purple arrow on a lavendar background now! Ouch, that's gotta hurt.
I you haven't seen these, google for javascript slider or ajax slider. Amazon's Diamond search is one example that uses two handles on the same range.
What I want is something more sophistcated. If you've worked with Producer for Powerpoint 2003, I want the timeline editor. If you've used Macromedia Captivate, it's the same concept.
I want to be able to have what I started on here:

But, I want it not to be made with hidden checkboxes and I want it to actually work :-)
Ideally, I'd like it to let me double click to add a pair of handles on the time line, then click and drag each handle independently to create the range.
Does anyone know of something like this that already exists before I reinvent the wheel?
Thanks
Update
After reading Gerd Reisellmann's post about Scriptac.ulo.us, I adapted his sample to show the beginning of how this can be done. See the links here:

This is nice!
