Range

Use our custom range inputs for consistent cross-browser styling and built-in customization.

Overview

Create custom <input type="range"> controls with .form-range. The track (the background) and thumb (the value) are both styled to appear the same across browsers.

Progressive enhancement

Only Firefox supports “filling” their track from the left or right of the thumb as a means to visually indicate progress — so Edge, Chrome and Safari won’t show it, and it’s perfectly fine.

Example range

html

<label for="customRange1" class="form-label">Example range</label>
<input type="range" class="form-range" id="customRange1">

Disabled

Add the disabled boolean attribute on an input to give it a grayed out appearance, remove pointer events, and prevent focusing.

Disabled range

html

<label for="disabledRange" class="form-label is-disabled">Disabled range</label>
<input type="range" class="form-range" id="disabledRange" disabled>

Min and max

Range inputs have implicit values for min and max—0 and 100, respectively. You may specify new values for those using the min and max attributes.

Example range

html

<label for="customRange2" class="form-label">Example range</label>
<input type="range" class="form-range" min="0" max="5" id="customRange2">

Steps

By default, range inputs “snap” to integer values. To change this, you can specify a step value. In the example below, we double the number of steps by using step="0.5".

Example range

html

<label for="customRange3" class="form-label">Example range</label>
<input type="range" class="form-range" min="0" max="5" step="0.5" id="customRange3">

Usability

For better usability, it is recommended most of the time to display the current selected value.

This requires extra JavaScript code.

Example range

html

<div class="d-flex w-100 justify-content-between">
  <label for="customRange4" class="form-label">Example range</label>
  <output for="customRange4" class="fw-bold" aria-hidden="true"></output>
</div>
<input type="range" class="form-range" min="0" max="100" step="1" id="customRange4">

<script>
  // Please note that this script is only an example, please adapt it to your needs

  function updateLabelValue() {
    document.querySelector(`output[for="${this.id}"]`).innerHTML = this.value;
  }

  window.addEventListener('load', function () {
    Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName('form-range')).forEach(function (el) {
      if (document.querySelector(`output[for="${el.id}"]`)) {
        el.addEventListener('input', updateLabelValue)
        updateLabelValue.call(el)
      }
    })
  })
</script>
