Google chrome vertical <input type="range" />

Question

On opera, i can do the following

<style>
#range{
 width: 20px;
 heigth: 300px;
}
</style>

<input type="range" id="range" />

and it will render a vertical slider. However, this doesn't seem to work on chrome. Is there a way I can do this? (I'm not looking for any jQuery sliders or anything)

Solution 1

It seems Chromium does not yet implement support for this yet:

See: http://www.chromium.org/developers/web-platform-status/forms

Not available yet

• Localization of
• Dedicated UIs for color, date, datetime, datetime-local, month, time, and week types
• Automatic switching to vertical range
• Value sanitization algorithms
• datalist element, list attribute, and list/selectedOption properties

Edit: Vuurwerk indicated that it is actually possible to alter the presentation using the -webkit-appearance: slider-vertical property. Although this does transform it into a vertical slider, I would not recommend doing this, since it will break your layout and doesn't look really pretty: example.

If you really want a vertical slider, use a JavaScript solution. Support for <input type="range" /> is very basic at the moment anyway, so you are probably better off with a graceful degradation or progressive enhancement approach.

Solution 2

-webkit-appearance: slider-vertical;

Solution 3

Maybe with a css transform ?

-webkit-transform: rotate(90);

Another solution could be to use the slider module from jQuery UI.

Solution 4

input[type='range']{        
    width:20px;
    height:140px;
    border:2px solid blue;
    display:block;
    -webkit-transform:rotate(90deg); /* Safari and Chrome */        
    -moz-transform:rotate(90deg);
    -o-transform:rotate(90deg);
    -ms-transform:rotate(90deg);
    transform:rotate(90deg);
    z-index: 0; 
}
