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>

how can I achieve that the parameters from the input elements range, are only submitted via GET-Request if the user interacts with the range slider before submitting. So that when the form is submitted the default values are not always submitted?
<div data-role="rangeslider">
<label for="range-1a">Rangeslider:</label>
<input type="range" name="absMin" id="rangeMin" min="0" max="1" value="0" step="0.1">
<label for="range-1b">Rangeslider:</label>
<input type="range" name="absMax" id="rangeMax" min="0" max="1" value="1" step="0.1">
</div>
Thanks a lot in advance
there're many ways to do that, maybe the easiest way is changing your slider's initial value to -1, but why you do that? what if your user actually want to choose but they don't do the slide because they feel like the slider already showed the value they wanted?
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.

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">

I'm facing the issue for input field's attributes min and max values in Firefox (v_30.0) browser.
This works
<input name="year" type="number" placeholder="YYYY" required min="1" max="12"/>
But this does not
<input name="year" type="number" placeholder="YYYY" required min="1990" max="20014"/>
it displays 1 on input box and does not move further.
Firefox (unlike Chrome) seems to follow the HTML5 definition for stepping up the value of an input type=number element. When the value is not set, as it here isn’t initially, it is interpreted as 0, so the result of incrementing is 1. Since it is outside the range, it is an invalid value, and further stepping is not possible.
This means that input type=number is intended for use with quantities for which an initial value can be set (or the default initial value of 0 can be accepted). After all, stepping up and down is really the reason for using this element type, and it needs to start somewhere.
Consequently, there is not much point in using required for such an element, unless the implicit default of 0 is acceptable and within the bounds set.
If you still want to use input type=number, you need to set some initial value with the value attribute that is within the bounds. Technically, this means that the pattern attribute has no effect.
To read a required 4-digit number when no default value is set, optionally with a placeholder, you can use a text input field with suitable attributes (but you cannot express a range requirement in HTML, in any reasonable way, in this approach):
<input name="year" type="text" placeholder="YYYY"
size="4" maxlength="4" pattern="\d[4}" required
style="font-family: Consolas, monospace">
Just set the starting value and it will work
<input name="year" type="number" min="1990" max="2014" value="1990" required />
http://jsfiddle.net/ywq6dq93/
EDIT:
As another user previously pointed out, this will not show the placeholder but instead the starting value of 1990. In Chrome it works to not set the value and still show the placeholder and achieve the desired functionality, however it seems that in FF you would need to set the value by javascript when focusing on the input field, if you want to show a placeholder instead of a starting value.
Demo for this: http://jsfiddle.net/1pg5727f
<input type="number" step="1" min="1" name="product_qty" value="1" title="Qty" class="input-text" size="4" maxlength="10" pattern="\d*" required />
if you still looking for the answer you can use input type="number".
min max work if it set in that order:
1-name
2-maxlength
3-size
4-min
5-max
just copy it
<input name="X" maxlength="3" size="2" min="1" max="100" type="number" />
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/
Code on Github: https://github.com/filamentgroup/jQuery-Slider
I'm writing a form in HTML5. One of the inputs is type=number. I want the input to only show 2 digits but it seems to default to showing at least 5 digits, which takes up extra space. I've tried adding size="2" attribute, with no effect.
This the tag i'm using:
<input type="number" name="numericInput" size="2" min="0" max="18" value="0" />
What am I missing?
HTML5 number input doesn't have styles attributes like width or size, but you can style it easily with CSS.
input[type="number"] {
width:50px;
}
I have been looking for the same solution and this worked for me...add an inline css tag to control the width of the input.
For example:
<input type="number" min="1" max="5" style="width: 2em;">
Combined with the min and max attributes you can control the width of the input.
Unfortunately in HTML 5 the 'pattern' attribute is linked to only 4-5 attributes. However if you are willing to use a "text" field instead and convert to number later, this might help you;
This limits an input from 1 character (numberic) to 3.
<input name=quantity type=text pattern='[0-9]{1,3}'>
The CSS basically allows for confirmation with an "Thumbs up" or "Down".
Example 1
Example 2
There are only 4 specific atrributes:
value - Value is the default value of the input box when a page is first loaded. This is a common attribute for element regardless which type you are using.
min - Obviously, the minimum value you of the number. I should have specified minimum value to 0 for my demo up there as a negative number doesn't make sense for number of movie watched in a week.
max - Apprently, this represents the biggest number of the number input.
step - Step scale factor, default value is 1 if this attribute is not specified.
So you cannot control length of what user type by keyword. But the implementation of browsers may change.
Also you can replace size attribute by a style attribute:
<input type="number" name="numericInput" style="width: 50px;" min="0" max="18" value="0" />
There is a way:
<input type="number" min="0" max="100" step="5"/>
<input type="number" name="numericInput" size="2" min="0" maxlength="2" value="0" />
