Your slider should be set to 1 as is - the value option of the slider does the following. From the API:

Determines the value of the slider, if there's only one handle. If there is more than one handle, determines the value of the first handle.

Code examples

Initialize a slider with the value option specified.

$( ".selector" ).slider({ value: 37 });

You can set the value of the textbox as follows:

$("#amt").val(1);

You can set the slider value first:

$("#slider").slider( "value" , 1);

And then read it to set the text box value (or just set the text box value to -1 as well but that's less pretty)

$("#amt").val($("#slider").slider( "value"));
