: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 November 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

label { display: block; margin-top: 1em; } input:in-range { background-color: palegreen; }

<form> <label for="amount">How many tickets? (You can buy 2-6 tickets)</label> <input id="amount" name="amount" type="number" min="2" max="6" value="4" /> <label for="dep">Departure Date: (Whole year 2022 is acceptable)</label> <input id="dep" name="dep" type="date" min="2022-01-01" max="2022-12-31" value="2025-05-05" /> <label for="ret">Return Date: (Whole year 2022 is acceptable)</label> <input id="ret" name="ret" type="date" min="2022-01-01" max="2022-12-31" /> </form>

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).
