Why does custom CSS styling not apply due to vertical slider? - html

Question

#slider1 {
-webkit-appearance: slider-vertical; /* This makes ... */
background-color: black;
width: 1px;
height: 100px;
}
#slider2 {
-webkit-appearance: none; /* the difference. */
background-color: black;
width: 100px;
height: 1px;
}
#slider1::-webkit-slider-thumb,
#slider2::-webkit-slider-thumb {
-webkit-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #04aa6d;
cursor: pointer;
}
#slider1::-webkit-slider-thumb:hover,
#slider2::-webkit-slider-thumb:hover {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
}
<input type="range" id="slider1" />
<input type="range" id="slider2" />
As seen here, the CSS styling was almost same for both sliders, except for the -webkit-appearance property. But the horizontal slider (which is the default slider) accepts the styling while the vertical slider rejects it. I am on Chrome. How to make it work? Thanks!

Answer 1

It seems like there is no work around available to design vertical range, what you can do is to rotate the default one.
.wrap {
display: flex;
}
.slid1 {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
height: 100px;
width: 30px;
}
#slider1,
#slider2 {
-webkit-appearance: none;
/* the difference. */
background-color: black;
width: 100px;
height: 1px;
}
#slider1 {
-webkit-appearance: none;
/* This makes ... */
transform: rotate(270deg);
transform-origin: center;
}
#slider1::-webkit-slider-thumb,
#slider2::-webkit-slider-thumb {
-webkit-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #04aa6d;
cursor: pointer;
}
#slider1::-webkit-slider-thumb:hover,
#slider2::-webkit-slider-thumb:hover {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
}
<div class="wrap">
<div class="slid1">
<input type="range" id="slider1" />
</div>
<div class="slid2">
<input type="range" id="slider2" />
</div>
</div>

Edit: As per your comment, I have wrapped sliders into flex containers to align them.

In order to add custom styling to range slider, you need to set a css property -webkit-appearance: none; which you did in #slider2 but you missed it in #slider1.
Try the following code
<input type="range" id="slider1" />
<input type="range" id="slider2" />
<style type="text/css">
#slider1 {
-webkit-appearance: none; /* This makes ... */
background-color: black;
width: 1px;
height: 100px;
}
#slider2 {
-webkit-appearance: none; /* the difference. */
background-color: black;
width: 100px;
height: 1px;
}
#slider1::-webkit-slider-thumb,
#slider2::-webkit-slider-thumb {
-webkit-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #04aa6d;
cursor: pointer;
}
#slider1::-webkit-slider-thumb:hover,
#slider2::-webkit-slider-thumb:hover {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
}
</style>
Then you will find the vertical slider
