How to change Jquery UI Slider handle

The CSS class that can be changed to add a image to the JQuery slider handle is called “.ui-slider-horizontal .ui-slider-handle“.

The following code shows a demo:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <link type="text/css" href="http://jqueryui.com/latest/themes/base/ui.all.css" rel="stylesheet" />
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.core.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryui.com/latest/ui/ui.slider.js"></script>
  <style type="text/css">
  .ui-slider-horizontal .ui-state-default {background: white url(http://stackoverflow.com/content/img/so/vote-arrow-down.png) no-repeat scroll 50% 50%;}
  </style>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $("#slider").slider();
  });
  </script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="slider"></div>
</body>
</html>

I think registering a handle option was the old way of doing it and no longer supported in JQuery-ui 1.7.2?
