HTML5 Slider with two inputs possible

Question

Is it possible to make a HTML5 slider with two input values  for example to select a price range  If so  how can it be done

User · Accepted Answer

No  the HTML5 range input only accepts one input  I would recommend you to use something like the jQuery UI range slider for that task

I ve been looking for a lightweight  dependency free dual slider for some time  it seemed crazy to import jQuery just for this  and there don t seem to be many out there  I ended up modifying  Wildhoney s code a bit and really like it    x000D   x000D  function getVals    x000D       Get slider values x000D    var parent   this parentNode  x000D    var slides   parent getElementsByTagName  input    x000D      var slide1   parseFloat  slides 0  value    x000D      var slide2   parseFloat  slides 1  value    x000D       Neither slider will clip the other  so make sure we determine which is larger x000D    if  slide1  gt  slide2    var tmp   slide2  slide2   slide1  slide1   tmp    x000D     x000D    var displayElement   parent getElementsByClassName  rangeValues   0   x000D        displayElement innerHTML   slide1     -     slide2  x000D    x000D   x000D  window onload   function    x000D       Initialize Sliders x000D    var sliderSections   document getElementsByClassName  range-slider    x000D        for  var x   0  x  lt  sliderSections length  x      x000D          var sliders   sliderSections x  getElementsByTagName  input    x000D          for  var y   0  y  lt  sliders length  y      x000D            if  sliders y  type     range     x000D              sliders y  oninput   getVals  x000D                 Manually trigger event first time to display values x000D              sliders y  oninput    x000D              x000D            x000D          x000D    x000D    section range-slider   x000D      position  relative  x000D      width  200px  x000D      height  35px  x000D      text-align  center  x000D    x000D   x000D  section range-slider input   x000D      pointer-events  none  x000D      position  absolute  x000D      overflow  hidden  x000D      left  0  x000D      top  15px  x000D      width  200px  x000D      outline  none  x000D      height  18px  x000D      margin  0  x000D      padding  0  x000D    x000D   x000D  section range-slider input  -webkit-slider-thumb   x000D      pointer-events  all  x000D      position  relative  x000D      z-index  1  x000D      outline  0  x000D    x000D   x000D  section range-slider input  -moz-range-thumb   x000D      pointer-events  all  x000D      position  relative  x000D      z-index  10  x000D      -moz-appearance  none  x000D      width  9px  x000D    x000D   x000D  section range-slider input  -moz-range-track   x000D      position  relative  x000D      z-index  -1  x000D      background-color  rgba 0  0  0  1   x000D      border  0  x000D    x000D  section range-slider input last-of-type  -moz-range-track   x000D      -moz-appearance  none  x000D      background  none transparent  x000D      border  0  x000D    x000D    section range-slider input type range   -moz-focus-outer   x000D    border  0  x000D    x000D   lt  -- This block can be reused as many times as needed -- gt  x000D   lt section class  range-slider  gt  x000D     lt span class  rangeValues  gt  lt  span gt  x000D     lt input value  5  min  0  max  15  step  0 5  type  range  gt  x000D     lt input value  10  min  0  max  15  step  0 5  type  range  gt  x000D   lt  section gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

The question was   quot Is it possible to make a HTML5 slider with two input values  for example to select a price range  If so  how can it be done  quot  Ten years ago the answer was probably  No   However  times have changed  In 2020 it is finally possible to create a fully accessible  native  non-jquery HTML5 slider with two thumbs for price ranges  If found this posted after I already created this solution and I thought that it would be nice to share my implementation here  This implementation has been tested on mobile Chrome and Firefox  Android  and Chrome and Firefox  Linux   I am not sure about other platforms  but it should be quite good  I would love to get your feedback and improve this solution  This solution allows multiple instances on one page and it consists of just two inputs  each  with descriptive labels for screen readers  You can set the thumb size in the amount of grid labels  Also  you can use touch  keyboard and mouse to interact with the slider  The value is updated during adjustment  due to the  on input  event listener  My first approach was to overlay the sliders and clip them  However  that resulted in complex code with a lot of browser dependencies  Then I recreated the solution with two sliders that were  inline   This is the solution you will find below   x000D   x000D  var thumbsize   14   function draw slider splitvalue            set function vars        var min   slider querySelector   min        var max   slider querySelector   max        var lower   slider querySelector   lower        var upper   slider querySelector   upper        var legend   slider querySelector   legend        var thumbsize   parseInt slider getAttribute  data-thumbsize         var rangewidth   parseInt slider getAttribute  data-rangewidth         var rangemin   parseInt slider getAttribute  data-rangemin         var rangemax   parseInt slider getAttribute  data-rangemax             set min and max attributes        min setAttribute  max  splitvalue       max setAttribute  min  splitvalue           set css        min style width   parseInt thumbsize     splitvalue -

Coming late  but noUiSlider avoids having a jQuery-ui dependency  which the accepted answer does not  Its only  caveat  is IE support is for IE9 and newer  if legacy IE is a deal breaker for you   It s also free  open source and can be used in commercial projects without restrictions   Installation  Download noUiSlider  extract the CSS and JS file somewhere in your site file system  and then link to the CSS from head and to JS from body    lt  -- In  lt head gt  -- gt   lt link href  nouislider min css  rel  stylesheet  gt    lt  -- In  lt body gt  -- gt   lt script src  nouislider min js  gt  lt  script gt    Example usage  Creates a slider which goes from 0 to 100  and starts set to 20-80   HTML    lt div id  slider  gt   lt  div gt    JS   var slider   document getElementById  slider     noUiSlider create slider        start   20  80       connect  true      range             min   0           max   100

Actually I used my script in html directly  But in javascript when you add oninput event listener for this event it gives the data automatically You just need to assign the value as per your

Sure you can simply use two sliders overlaying each other and add  a bit of javascript  actually not more than 5 lines  that the selectors are not exceeding the min max values  like in  Garys  solution  Attached you ll find a short snippet adapted from a current project including some CSS3 styling to show what you can do  webkit only   I also added some labels to display the selected values  It uses JQuery but a vanillajs version is no magic though   Update  The code below was just a proof of concept  Due to many requests I ve added a possible solution for Mozilla Firefox  without changing the original code   You may want to refractor the code below before using it   x000D   x000D       function              function addSeparator nStr                nStr                    var x   nStr split                   var x1   x 0               var x2   x length  gt  1         x 1                    var rgx      d    d 3                 while  rgx test x1                     x1   x1 replace rgx    1            2                              return x1   x2                     function rangeInputChangeEventHandler e               var rangeGroup     this  attr  name                    minBtn     this  parent   children   min                    maxBtn     this  parent   children   max                    range min     this  parent   children   range min                    range max     this  parent   children   range max                    minVal   parseInt   minBtn  val                     maxVal   parseInt   maxBtn  val                     origin     this  context className               if origin      min   amp  amp  minVal  gt  maxVal-5                     minBtn  val maxVal-5                             var minVal   parseInt   minBtn  val                   range min  html addSeparator minVal 1000                           if origin      max   amp  amp  maxVal-5  lt  minVal                     maxBtn  val 5  minVal                             var maxVal   parseInt   maxBtn  val                   range max  html addSeparator maxVal 1000                                input type  range     on   input   rangeInputChangeEventHandler         x000D  body  font-family  sans-serif  font-size 14px    input type  range       width  210px    height  30px    overflow  hidden    cursor  pointer      outline  none    input type  range    input type  range    -webkit-slider-runnable-track  input type  range    -webkit-slider-thumb     -webkit-appearance  none      background  none    input type  range    -webkit-slider-runnable-track     width  200px    height  1px    background   003D7C     input type  range   nth-child 2   -webkit-slider-runnable-track    background  none     input type  range    -webkit-slider-thumb     position  relative    height  15px    width  15px    margin-top  -7px    background   fff    border  1px solid  003D7C    border-radius  25px    z-index  1      input type  range   nth-child 1   -webkit-slider-thumb    z-index  2      rangeslider      position  relative      height  60px      width  210px      display  inline-block      margin-top  -5px      margin-left  20px     rangeslider input      position  absolute     rangeslider      position  absolute      rangeslider span      position  absolute      margin-top  30px      left  0      rangeslider  right     position  relative     float  right     margin-right  -5px         Proof of concept for Firefox     -moz-document url-prefix        rangeslider  before      content         width 100       height 2px      background   003D7C      display block      position  relative      top 16px         input type  range   nth-child 1       position absolute      top 35px  important      overflow visible  important      height 0         input type  range   nth-child 2       position absolute      top 35px  important      overflow visible  important      height 0      input type  range    -moz-range-thumb     position  relative    height  15px    width  15px    margin-top  -7px    background   fff    border  1px solid  003D7C    border-radius  25px    z-index  1       input type  range   nth-child 1   -moz-range-thumb         transform  translateY -20px             input type  range   nth-child 2   -moz-range-thumb         transform  translateY -20px             x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 8 3 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt   lt div class  rangeslider  gt                                   lt input class  min  name  range 1  type  range  min  1  max  100  value  10    gt                                   lt input class  max  name  range 1  type  range  min  1  max  100  value  90    gt                                   lt span class  range min light left  gt 10 000     lt  span gt                                   lt span class  range max light right  gt 90 000     lt  span gt                               lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
