Smart spin is a jQuery spin button plugin that mimics the very common windows spin button control. Smart spin allows you to select a value between minimum and maximum values using either mouse or keyboard. You can also enter a value via keyboard.

Smart spin contains a text box and "up" "down" buttons, it also supports "masking"(text that appears when the control looses focus). Clicking the "up" button causes the value to increment by step value (step value is configurable, default is 1), while clicking the "down" button causes the value to decrement by step value. Clicking up/down buttons and holding the left mouse button causes the values to change more rapidly. Smart Spin now supports mouse wheel button, you can change value using mouse wheel as well.

  • min: minimum value of spin button control
  • max: maximum value of spin button control
  • stepInc: small increment value
  • pageInc: large increment value (on page up and page down)
  • mask: optional text that appears when the control looses focus
  • initValue: value to be displayed when the control in initialized/reset
  • width: width of spin button control
  • height: height of spin button control
  • btnWidth: spin buttons width, requires for custom image
  • callback: callback function to be called on each value change
