Slider: does not allow manual decimal input

[stevendegroote]

1) Environment

• PrimeFaces version: 6.2
• Does it work on the newest released PrimeFaces version? Version? No
• Affected browsers: All

2) Expected behavior

A slider that slides between decimal numbers should also allow manual input in the linked inputfield.

3) Actual behavior

Currently, the linked input field does not allow typing , or . , but only accepts 0-9

4) Steps to reproduce

Go to https://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/input/slider.xhtml
Second example: Slider with decimal values
Try to enter 4.5 in the input field. The . is ignored when typing.

5) Sample XHTML

https://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/input/slider.xhtml

6) Sample bean

If you copy+paste a decimal value like -234.5 it even accepts invalid values outside the range.

See #3282 what should be done on server side should probably also be done on js side so that the user cannot enter values outside the range

Enhancement? This should be a 'Defect'

A PR is welcome here ;)

There is still a bug when using ajax with decimal values, this bug occurs in line 53 of file SliderTemplate.java

basically it works now BUT its not perfect and a range check e.g. should be implemented.
