CSS Correctly positioning pseudo element - html

Question

I have a input type range inside a div and I'm using the pseudo element 'before' as a circle. My intention is for it to be like the thumb at the starting position: I have the following html:
<div class="range">
<input type="range" name="" class="progress" value="0" max="100" min="0"/>
</div>
with the following css:
.range::before{
content: '';
display: inline-block;
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
background-color: #69b6d5;
}
Here is a functioning fiddle
My intention is to make the before element at the same position as the beginning of the range.

Answer 1

Added inline-block to .range::before and input and aligned them vetically using vertical-align: middle.
Set width of input to width: calc(100% - 15px). This 15px is the width of the .range::before element.
Bring the .range::before over the yellow dot using transform: translate(100%, 0)
See demo below:
/* RANGE */
input[type=range] {
-webkit-appearance: none;
margin: 10px 0;
width: calc(100% - 15px);
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
padding: 0;
border: none;
}
input[type=range]:focus {
outline: none;
}
input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-runnable-track {
width: 100%;
height: 3px;
cursor: pointer;
animate: 0.2s;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000000;
background: #FFE000;
border-radius: 7px;
border: 0px solid #FFE000;
}
input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-thumb {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #FFE000;
border: 2px solid #FFE000;
height: 15px;
width: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
background: #FFE000;
cursor: pointer;
-webkit-appearance: none;
margin-top: -7px;
}
input[type=range]:focus::-webkit-slider-runnable-track {
background: #FFE000;
}
input[type=range]::-moz-range-track {
width: 100%;
height: 3px;
cursor: pointer;
animate: 0.2s;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000000;
background: #FFE000;
border-radius: 7px;
border: 0px solid #FFE000;
}
input[type=range]::-moz-range-thumb {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #FFE000;
border: 2px solid #FFE000;
height: 15px;
width: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
background: #FFE000;
cursor: pointer;
}
input[type=range]::-ms-track {
width: 100%;
height: 3px;
cursor: pointer;
animate: 0.2s;
background: transparent;
border-color: transparent;
color: transparent;
}
input[type=range]::-ms-fill-lower {
background: #FFE000;
border: 0px solid #FFE000;
border-radius: 14px;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000000;
}
input[type=range]::-ms-fill-upper {
background: #FFE000;
border: 0px solid #FFE000;
border-radius: 14px;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000000;
}
input[type=range]::-ms-thumb {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #FFE000;
border: 2px solid #FFE000;
height: 15px;
width: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
background: #FFE000;
cursor: pointer;
}
input[type=range]:focus::-ms-fill-lower {
background: #FFE000;
}
input[type=range]:focus::-ms-fill-upper {
background: #FFE000;
}
.range {
position: relative;
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 50vw;
}
.range::before {
content: '';
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
transform: translate(100%, 0);
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
background-color: #69b6d5;
}
<div class="range">
<input type="range" name="" class="progress" value="0" max="100" min="0" />
</div>
Let me know your feedback on this. Thanks!

Answer 2

It's a bit hacky, but how about adding this to .range::before:
.range::before {
/* ... other css */
position: absolute;
margin-top: 11px;
}
