Well it seems that Erik Arvidsson developed these sliders with this exact 
problem in mind. In theory it is possible to degrade to a field only form if 
the browser does not support the required javascript syntax (see 
http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/slider/slider.html for details).

Now I don't know which browser to use to test this and I must confess my patch 
doesn't include the correct test to degrade transparently to the test only 
version. Would you have in mind a browser with a limited javascript support I 
could use?
