styling a vertical HTML5 range input

So this is an answer, I guess. You need to use other selectors. Read more here.

-webkit-transform:rotate(90deg); - Make it vertical, tweak margins to suit.

Google is your friend!

From the article:

WEBKIT BASED BROWSERS (CHROME, SAFARI, OPERA)

In webkit based browsers, the track is styled with a special pseudo selector ::-webkit-slider-runnable-track, and the thumb with ::webkit-slider-thumb.

Custom focus styles can also be applied on the thumb and the track. If you go that route, you'll have to remove default focus styles on the input itself.

Here is an example in a fiddle. CSS taken from my previous source.

HTML

<input type="range" />

CSS

input[type=range]{
    -webkit-appearance: none;
}

input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-runnable-track {
    width: 300px;
    height: 5px;
    background: #ddd;
    border: none;
    border-radius: 3px;
}

input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-thumb {
    -webkit-appearance: none;
    border: none;
    height: 16px;
    width: 16px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    background: goldenrod;
    margin-top: -4px;
}

input[type=range]:focus {
    outline: none;
}

input[type=range]:focus::-webkit-slider-runnable-track {
    background: #ccc;
}

css3 - styling input range background

Apparently the line that range is on is called track, Css tricks has a detailed article on how to customize the range input.

hope this helps.

How to customize the HTML5 input range type looks using CSS?

EDIT: nowadays all major browser support both

• <progress>

• input[type='range']

Hence you should use one of these two, as explained in other answers, and this should not be the accepted answer anymore.

The <input type="range"> is pretty new and you are already attempting to customize it with CSS. :)

I wouldn't try that for two reasons:

1. there might be huge compatibility issues now and for the next few (or many) years.
   Think that in nowadays a form control like <select> (available since the web started) is still problematic to be customized with CSS in a cross browser way. For instance if you set a padding for the select boxes, many browser (IE7, OPERA9, CHROME5, SAFARI4) will totally ignore the padding.
   It works only IE8 and on FF 3.6. (all tests done with HTML5 DOCTYPE so in standard mode).

2. The <input type="range"> has been created to show a slider NOT a progress bar, attempting to cheat on it with CSS in order to transform a slider into progress bar it sounds bizarre. Like trying to use CSS to change a <textarea> into a table, but why don't you simply use a <table> to render tables?!

To show a progress bar in HTML5 you should follow the suggestion given by marcgg in his answer. Since no browser is currently rendereing it you could use a simple div with a p inside like this:

<div id="progress" style="position:relative; width:100px; height:20px; border:1px solid #cccccc;">
   <p style="position:absolute; left:0; top:0; background-color:#0000ff; height:100%; width:30%; font-size:0px;"> </p>
</div>

Then simply update the style.width of inner P element in percent like:

width: 75%

FYI: if you want to do that in simple JS here is the code:

document.getElementById('progress').(getElementsByTagName('p')[0]).style.width = '75%';
