Dynamic Slider Control

Greeting to all Experts :
I want to build a slider control based on user input. Let me explain it based on layout HTML :
Basically i want to do create a dynamically slider control based on user input. The layout should be like that :

How many slider you need? Total :>> [User key in value]
Eg:
I key in 3, then, that's will be 3 dynamically slider control + label will be generate :
____________________
Slider 1 |-------------------||--------| label //If i drag value 1, i'also need to see the label change to 1 too
-------------------------------
____________________
Slider 2 |-------------------||--------| label
--------------------------------
____________________
Slider 3 |-------------------||--------| label
--------------------------------

Last, i need to see the scale for each slider control too. Like this format :

eg:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
| | | | | | | | | <-----------value is 1 - 9 only
____________________
Slider 1 |-------------------||--------| label
--------------------------------

-After user key in all the value, i'll need to able to get the value from each slider value selected by user.
Later, i'll need to retrieve it based on value come from database. But, it's ok for me if my requirement above achieve.

I got some snippet code, can you modify it based on my problems?

slider.html
==========
<script>
var drag=false, obj, base, lbl;
var int=20, head=5, w=1, dif=int-head+w, limit=10; int+=w;
var startnum=1;

function dragit(x){
var fromleft=x-base.offsetLeft-dif, newnum=Math.round(fromleft/int);
if(newnum>limit){newnum=limit;}else if(newnum<1){newnum=1;}
document.forms[0].output.value=newnum-1; newnum=(newnum-1)*int;
obj.style.left=newnum+base.offsetLeft;}

function init(){
obj=document.getElementById('tab');
base=document.getElementById('base');
document.forms[0].output.value=startnum-1;
obj.style.top=base.offsetLeft+10;
obj.style.left=(startnum-1)*int+base.offsetLeft;}
</script>

<body bgcolor=cccccc onload="init();" onmousemove="if(drag){dragit(event.x+document.body.scrollLeft);}" onmouseup="drag=false;">
<form>
<div id=base>
<img src='base.gif'></div>
<div id=tab style="font-size:0;position:absolute;" onmousedown="drag=true;">
<img src='tab.gif' unselectable=on
onmousedown="this.src='tab2.gif';" onmouseup="this.src='tab.gif';">
</div>
<input type=text name=output size="2">
</form>

I'll always Appreciate for any helps.
Your effort will appreciate if any source/references/modification code above to lead me to solve the problems.

Thanks.

How about this:

<html>
<head>
<script>
var sCount = 0;
function incSlidCount(theField){
theField.value=theField.value.replace(/\D/g,'');
newCount = theField.value * 1;
if(newCount>sCount){
sArea = document.getElementById('sliderFarm');
for(i=sCount;i<theField.value;i++){
sArea.innerHTML += newSlider(i+1)
}
sCount = newCount;
}
}
function newSlider(sId){
sCode = '<table border=0>'
sCode += '<tr style="font-size:12"><td></td><td>  </td>';
for(var i=1;i<10;i++){
sCode+='<td><center>'+i+'</center></td>'
}
sCode += '<td>  </td></tr>'
sCode += '<tr style="font-size:6"><td></td><td>  </td>';
for(var i=1;i<10;i++){
sCode+='<td><center>|</center></td>'
}
sCode += '<td>  </td></tr>'
sCode += '<tr><td>Slider '+sId+'</td><td colspan="11">';
sCode += '<span id="S'+sId+'" style="overflow-x:scroll; overflow-y:hidden; width:200; height=15;"';
sCode += ' onScroll="scrollSlider(this)">';
for(var i=0;i<600;i++){
sCode+= " ";
}
sCode+='</span></td><td>';
sCode+='<span id="LS'+sId+'">1</span></td></tr></table>';
return sCode;
}

function scrollSlider(theSpan){
sId = theSpan.id;
document.getElementById('L'+sId).innerHTML = Math.round(theSpan.scrollLeft/260)+1;
}

function enter(e){
keyCode = (e.keyCode)?e.keyCode:e.which;
if(keyCode==13) {
e.srcElement.onchange();
return false;
}
}
</script>

</head>
<body onLoad="document.forms[0].slidCount.focus()">
<form>
How many slider you need? Total:
<input type=text name="slidCount" size="1" value="0" onChange="incSlidCount(this)" onKeyPress="return enter(event)">
<div id="sliderFarm"></div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
