Adding a slider to html - html

I want to add a slider as in input on a web page I am designing. I don't even know if it is called a slider.

A "slider" is written like this but within <> tags:
<input type="range" min="5" max="10" step="0.01">
You can set step to 1 and set the minimum and maximum values however you want.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/range
If you're looking for two sliders, you can build it out of two sliders like this:
<input value="500" min="500" max="50000" step="500" type="range">
<input value="50000" min="500" max="50000" step="500" type="range">

Number input halves in size when using min and max

When making an input, like so:
<input type="number" min="0" max="100"><br>
<input type="number" min="0" max="99"><br>
<input type="number" min="1" max="100"><br>
<input type="number" min="1" max="99"><br>
It shortens the width of the input field, specifically when max is at 100. Since i've never seen this, i can only guess it does this thinking i will use percentages or currency, which i actually do, but i do not want this. Is there another way to prevent this from happening besides using different values or changing the size of the input yourself?
This is the default behaviour of how some* browsers render those inputs. So the answer is No. If you want to have certain width, take a look at the other answers.
* Different browsers render elements differently:
And this is the result of your snippet in Mozilla Firefox:
The input field width adapts to the width of the highest value: 100. 99 has one less character, so the input field is shorter. I don't think you can prevent that difference without CSS if your max values have a different character length.
Now, CSS should be a piece of cake....
<style>.medium-input {width:100px;}</style>
<input type="number" min="0" max="100" class="medium-input"><br>
<input type="number" min="0" max="99" class="medium-input"><br>
<input type="number" min="1" max="100" class="medium-input"><br>
<input type="number" min="1" max="99" class="medium-input"><br>
I'm adding the same class to all of the inputs, so that you can also define some other lengths if you like.
You could also do it with input[type=number] as a selector.
you can add css to control the width of inputs.
this will do the job :
input[type=number]{
width: 150px;
}

HTML input range showing intervals

Is it possible to add the intervals on to a HTML input range. Essentially so that the user can easily just click the bar at the given intervals. I know there are some customs sliders that use JS and CSS but I just want the standard bar with some vertical lines on really.
EDIT
Sorry I should have been more clear:
What I'm looking for is entirely visual, I'll post my code below but I have implemented the step attribute what I want is a visual representation on the bar showing the user that there are 5 possible steps/intervals on the bar and that is what is available to them.
<input id="slider" max="5" min="1" step="1" style="width:90%; height:30%; type="range" value="5">
You mean like this (see code below)? You need to add the step="X" variable to your range slider.
What's step?
Works with the min and max attributes to limit the increments at which
a numeric or date-time value can be set. It can be the string any or a
positive floating point number. If this attribute is not set to any,
the control accepts only values at multiples of the step value greater
than the minimum.
Read more about it at Mozilla Developer Network.
<input id="slider1" type="range" min="1" max="11" step="2" />
Add step attribute to the input field.
<input type="range" min="0" max="100" step="10">
There is a nice example, originally posted on MDN:
<label for="temp">Choose a comfortable temperature:</label><br />
<input type="range" id="temp" name="temp" list="markers" />
<datalist id="markers">
<option value="0"></option>
<option value="25"></option>
<option value="50"></option>
<option value="75"></option>
<option value="100"></option>
</datalist>

silder control or number

I was searching for answer for this question
You are developing an HTML5 web form to collect feedback information from site visitors. The web form must display an INPUT element that meets the following requirements:
Allow numeric values between 1 and 10.
Default to the value of 5.
Display as a slider control on the page. You need to add the INPUT
element to the form.
Which HTML element should you add?
<input type="number" name="rating" min ="1" max-"10">
<input type="number" name="rating" min="1" max="10" default="5">
<input type="range" name="rating" min="0" max="10" default"="5">
<input type="range" name="rating" min="10" max="10" value="5">
Shouldn’t the answer be this one.
<input type="range" name="rating" min="0" max="10" default"="5">
There appears to be a lot of confusion regarding this question.
Let's break down the requirements:
Allow numeric values between 1 and 10 : type="number" min="1" max="10"
Default to the value of 5 : This is defaulted by value = 5
Display as a slider control on the page : input type="range"
As you can see, numeric and slider are conflicting with each other. You can have a slider or you can have a numeric input box, not both.
I would assume that the question is asking for a slider, and so the value="5" field would put the slider in the middle.
The answer is
<input type="range" name="rating" min="10" max="10" value="5">
(there is a typo for min="10", should be min="1" but this is the correct answer for this question).

output for range not functioning live

I have a feeling this is an easy fix, but I can't seem to discover what I am doing wrong.
I have a range slider on a site I am developing (http://psalfa.azurewebsites.net/members/newquotesuppliersearch.aspx) that is tied to an output element to display the value of the slider.
I got the code from a jsFiddle and tested it there to ensure it worked, however now that its on the site, the output is not changing.
The code is below. Any help would be appreciated.
<form oninput="x.value=parseInt(a.value)">
<input type="range" name="a" id="a" value="50" min="50" max="2500">
<output name="x" id="x" for="a">50</output>
</form>
try: type="number" and add data-type="range"

Best Element for Draggable location bar.

I'm creating an app that contains a draggable location bar. This element would allow you to drag thru chapters in a book and be seen at the bottom of the viewport. Much like Kindle or other mobile reading apps.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on what element to use.
<progress>
element, or was also thinking about using
<input type="range">
Or should we just roll our own and throw some javascript at it?
Semantically, your use case is best answered by the number or range input types
<input type="number" max="50" min="1" value="10">
<input type="range" max="50" min="1" step="1" value="10">
The challenge is in styling.
Filament Group have done some interesting work around making accessible slider controls for a variety of inputs, including number: http://filamentgroup.com/dwpe/slider/
