While mousedown and mousemove get coordinates of the mouse

I have this jQuery that does when the user is clicking the slider get the coordinates but when he lifts up the mouse the function still runs

$("slider").mousedown(function(){
    $(this).mousemove(function(e){
       console.log(e.clientX);
    });
};

But when the users lift up the mouse the code still runs and still logs the coordinates.

Do like this:

$("slider").mousedown(function(){
    $(this).mousemove(function(e){
       console.log(e.clientX);
    });
};
$("slider").mouseup(function(){
    $(this).unbind("mousemove");
});

Your mousedown function changes the mousemove function permanently. So you want to add something like this:

$("slider").mouseup(function(){
    $(this).unbind("mousemove")
};
