:in-range

 

Summary

The :in-range CSS pseudo-class matches when an element has its value attribute inside the specified range limitations for this element. It allows the page to give a feedback that the value currently defined using the element is inside the range limits.

Note: this pseudo-class only applies to elements that have a range limitations. In absence of such a limitation, the element can neither be 'in-range' nor 'out-of-range'.

Example

    <ul>Values between 1 and 10 are valid.
        <li>
            <input id="value1" name="value1" type="number" placeholder="1 to 10" min="1" max="10" value="12">
            <label for="value1">Your value is </label>
        </li>
</form>
