The added code generates JS that gets the text field by id ("html
jQuery id: 'id-of-your-textfield'") and sets its value ("value:") to
the value of the slider ("html jQuery this slider getValue"). Lukas is
suggesting that you need to this as well as sending the value back to
the smalltalk image. You can combine two JS actions using a comma so:

html div script:
   (html jQuery new slider
      value: self current;
      onStop:
         (html jQuery ajax
            callback: [ :value | self current: value asNumber ]
            value: (html jQuery this slider getValue)) ,
         ((html jQuery id: 'id-of-your-textfield)
            value: html jQuery this slider getValue))
