Hi,
I run the following code I found on github:
```
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import plotly.plotly as py
from plotly.offline import plot
dates = pd.date_range('01-Jan-2010', pd.datetime.now().date(), freq='D')
df = pd.DataFrame(100 + np.random.randn(dates.size).cumsum(), dates, columns=['AAPL'])
trace = go.Scatter(x=df.index, y=df.AAPL)
data = [trace]
layout = dict(
title='Time series with range slider and selectors',
xaxis=dict(
rangeselector=dict(
buttons=list([
dict(count=1,
label='1m',
step='month',
stepmode='backward'),
dict(count=6,
label='6m',
step='month',
stepmode='backward'),
dict(count=1,
label='YTD',
step='year',
stepmode='todate'),
dict(count=1,
label='1y',
step='year',
stepmode='backward'),
dict(step='all')
])
),
rangeslider=dict(),
type='date'
)
)
fig = dict(data=data, layout=layout)
plot(fig)
```
Here is the result I get:
As you can see there is nowhere the range slider. Any clue why is this the case?

Did you try `rangeslider = True`?

Do you mean to replace `rangeslider=dict()` `with rangeslider=True`?
Yes I did and I get the following error:
```
ValueError:
Invalid value of type 'builtins.bool' received for the 'rangeslider' property of layout.xaxis
Received value: True
The 'rangeslider' property is an instance of Rangeslider
that may be specified as:
- An instance of plotly.graph_objs.layout.xaxis.Rangeslider
- A dict of string/value properties that will be passed
to the Rangeslider constructor

Hey @mr.t
Try:
```auto
layout = go.Layout(
xaxis = dict(
rangeslider = dict(
visible = True
)
)
)
```
Here is the full attributes [https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-xaxis-rangeslider](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-xaxis-rangeslider)

@bcd thanks! thought that visible attribute is by default set to True as mentioned in the documentation

No worries! Could you confirm what plotly version you’re using?
