How to resize the rangeinput handle after creation?

I am using this http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/rangeinput/scrollbar.html ( as a horizon开发者_C百科tal scrollbar )

When resizing using:

$('.handle').css('width', 550+"px");

or

$(".handle").width(550).click();

after changing the handle width from 800px to 550px ( while using a 1000px width slider ) the handle cant be draged until the end of the slider. It stucks on position 200px ( 1000px - 800px ).

How do I resize the handler, without limiting his movement ?

Is it also possible to change the input max value after criation ?

Is this what you want. Change div to testarea if yes. You can set drag limit.
