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)

Answer 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.
