HTML DOM Input Range Object

Input Range Object

The Input Range Object is new in HTML5.

The Input Range object represents an HTML <input> element with type="range".

Note: <input> elements with type="range" are not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.

You can access an <input> element with type="range" by using getElementById():

Tip: You can also access <input type="range"> by searching through the elements collection of a form.

You can create an <input> element with type="range" by using the document.createElement() method:

var x = document.createElement("INPUT");
x.setAttribute("type", "range");
