Jquery slider - having name/value pairs or array for the values

I'm using a slider so that users can select their place in a range from 1-10 (or a 开发者_如何学JAVAsimilar range)

I know that i can specify the values/steps for the slider but can i have those values correspond to another?

i.e. 
1 = id3040 
2 = id0290
3 = id3782

So if they select '3' on the slider, I can get that corresponding value?

I have a survey and this will be used multiple times on the page, with the values being pulled from the db

Well, you can use an array to store the values you need, like this:

var values = ['id3040', 'id0290', 'id3782'];

Then define an event when initializing the slider to access the values stored in the array

stop: function(event, ui){
    console.log(values[ui.value]);
}
