Hello , My sliders are working to update the span - However the instructor simply slides his sliders and the span updates while he is sliding in realtime - However my span only updates once i let go of the mouse click - wasn't the change() method supposed to update whenever there's a change? it is working like that for instructor but no for me --
EDIT TO QUESTION :
I did some research on api,Jquery and the mousemove() method instead of the change() method works as exhibited in the fluid updates of the teacher - It works - so should i be concerned later?
$('input[type=range]').mousemove(changeColor);

I would recommend .on("input", ...) instead which will fire on every value change, but not on other mouse movements.
