How to style HTML5 range input to have different color before and after slider

Question

I want the left side to be green and the right side to be gray  As pictured above would be PERFECT  Preferably a pure CSS solution  only need to worry about WebKit    Is such a thing possible

User · Answer

Yes  it is possible  Though I wouldn t recommend it because input range is not really supported properly by all browsers because is an new element added in HTML5 and HTML5 is only a draft  and will be for long  so going as far as to styling it is perhaps not the best choice   Also  you ll need a bit of JavaScript too  I took the liberty of using jQuery library for this  for simplicity purposes   Here you go  http   jsfiddle net JnrvG 1

The previous accepted solution is not working any longer   I ended up coding a simple function which wraps the range into a styled container adding the bar that is needed before the cursor  I wrote this example where easy to see the two colors  blue  and  orange  set in the css  so they can be quickly modified

A small update to this one   if you use the following it will update on the fly rather than on mouse release    change mousemove   function    lt script gt     input type  range     on  change mousemove   function          var val      this  val   -   this  attr  min         this  attr  max   -   this  attr  min            this  css  background-image                    -webkit-gradient linear  left top  right top                       color-stop     val       2f466b                        color-stop     val       d3d3db                                                lt  script gt

It s now supported with pseudo elements in each of WebKit  Firefox and IE  But  of course  it s different in each one       See this question s answers and or search for a CodePen titled prettify  lt input type range gt   101 for some solutions

Building on top of  dargue3 s answer  if you want the thumb to be larger than the track  you want to fully take advantage of the  lt input type  range    gt  element and go cross browser  you need a little extra lines of JS  amp  CSS    On Chrome Mozilla you can use the linear-gradient technique  but you need to adjust the ratio based on the min  max  value attributes as mentioned here by  Attila O   You need to make sure you are not applying this on Edge  otherwise the thumb is not displayed   Geoffrey Lallou   explains this in more detail here    Another thing worth mentioning  is that you need to adjust the rangeEl style height    20px   on IE Older  Simply put this is because in this case  the height is not applied to the track but rather the whole input including the thumb   fiddle   x000D   x000D      x000D     Sniffs for Older Edge or IE  x000D     more info here  x000D     https   stackoverflow com q 31721250 3528132 x000D      x000D  function isOlderEdgeOrIE     x000D    return   x000D      window navigator userAgent indexOf  MSIE     gt  -1    x000D        navigator userAgent match  Trident  rv  11        x000D      window navigator userAgent indexOf  Edge    gt  -1 x000D       x000D    x000D   x000D  function valueTotalRatio value  min  max    x000D    return   value -

If you use first answer  there is a problem with thumb  In chrome if you want the thumb to be larger than the track  then the box shadow overlaps the track with the height of the thumb  Just sumup all these answers and wrote normally working slider with larger slider thumb  jsfiddle  x000D   x000D  const slider   document getElementById  myinput   const min   slider min const max   slider max const value   slider value  slider style background    linear-gradient to right  red 0   red    value-min   max-min  100     DEE2E6    value-min   max-min  100     DEE2E6 100     slider oninput   function       this style background    linear-gradient to right  red 0   red    this value-this min   this max-this min  100     DEE2E6    this value-this min   this max-this min  100     DEE2E6 100       x000D   myinput     border-radius  8px    height  4px    width  150px    outline  none    -webkit-appearance  none     input type  range    -webkit-slider-thumb     width  6px    -webkit-appearance  none    height  12px    background  black    border-radius  2px    x000D   lt div class  chrome  gt     lt input id  myinput  type  range  min  0  value  25  max  200    gt   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

While the accepted answer is good in theory  it ignores the fact that the thumb then cannot be bigger than size of the track without being chopped off by the overflow  hidden  See this example of how to handle this with just a tiny bit of JS   x000D   x000D      chrome styling Vanilla JS  document getElementById  myinput   oninput   function       var value    this value-this min   this max-this min  100   this style background    linear-gradient to right   82CFD0 0    82CFD0     value        fff     value       white 100       x000D   myinput     background  linear-gradient to right   82CFD0 0    82CFD0 50    fff 50    fff 100      border  solid 1px  82CFD0    border-radius  8px    height  7px    width  356px    outline  none    transition  background 450ms ease-in    -webkit-appearance  none    x000D   lt div class  chrome  gt     lt input id  myinput  min  0  max  60  type  range  value  30    gt   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
