move jquery slider with text links

i have to modify this page https://www.bcidaho.com/healthcare-reform/timeline.asp to use text links to move the slider to the relevant content.

the text links will be the months/years at the bottom of the slider.

right now i just uses the default handle on the slider.

just looking for insight on where to begin my quest for a solution.

thx

You can use the value method to get (not specifying [value]) or set (specify [value]) the value.

.slider( "value" , [value] )

From the docs: http://jqueryui.com/demos/slider/

Edit

To elaborate, use Firebug or Developer Tools, something with a console, and type

$('#timeline-content-slider').slider('value');

to get the current value for the slider. You can then use

$('#timeline-content-slider').slider('value','yourValueYouJustGotHere');

to move the slider to that point.
