:in-range

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The :in-range CSS pseudo-class represents an <input> element whose current value is within the range limits specified by the min and max attributes.

Try it

This pseudo-class is useful for giving the user a visual indication that a field's current value is within the permitted limits.

Note: This pseudo-class only applies to elements that have (and can take) a range limitation. In the absence of such a limitation, the element can neither be "in-range" nor "out-of-range."

Syntax

css

:in-range {
  /* ... */
}

Examples

HTML

html

<form action="" id="form1">
  <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"
        required />
      <label for="value1">Your value is </label>
    </li>
  </ul>
</form>

CSS

css

li {
  list-style: none;
  margin-bottom: 1em;
}

input {
  border: 1px solid black;
}

input:in-range {
  background-color: rgb(0 255 0 / 25%);
}

input:out-of-range {
  background-color: rgb(255 0 0 / 25%);
  border: 2px solid red;
}

input:in-range + label::after {
  content: "okay.";
}

input:out-of-range + label::after {
  content: "out of range!";
}

Note: An empty <input> does not count as out of range, and will not be selected using the :out-of-range pseudo-class selector. The :blank pseudo-class exists to select blank inputs, although at the time of writing this is experimental and not well-supported. You could also use the required attribute and the :invalid pseudo-class to provide more general logic and styling for making inputs mandatory (:invalid will style blank and out-of-range inputs).
