How to create a Range filter in a Text Area disabling the left and right handles in Spotfire® using Javascript

Introduction

There are many options for Spotfire users to interact with the Range Filter. However, if one wants to constrain the option of just being able to shift a window (of predetermined fixed size) sideways and not let the users change the lower and upper limit of the range, use the following Javascript Code. Sample dxp (RangeFilter.dxp) attached for reference. Disclaimer: The script code in this article is only a sample to be used as a reference.

Make modifications to the script per your implementation specifications that suit best your business requirements. Refer to the API reference(s) cited in this article for usage of the classes and methods used in the script.
