I've been looking for a lightweight, dependency free dual slider for some time (it seemed crazy to import jQuery just for this) and there don't seem to be many out there. I ended up modifying @Wildhoney's code a bit and really like it.
function getVals(){
// Get slider values
var parent = this.parentNode;
var slides = parent.getElementsByTagName("input");
var slide1 = parseFloat( slides[0].value );
var slide2 = parseFloat( slides[1].value );
// Neither slider will clip the other, so make sure we determine which is larger
if( slide1 > slide2 ){ var tmp = slide2; slide2 = slide1; slide1 = tmp; }
var displayElement = parent.getElementsByClassName("rangeValues")[0];
displayElement.innerHTML = slide1 + " - " + slide2;
}
window.onload = function(){
// Initialize Sliders
var sliderSections = document.getElementsByClassName("range-slider");
for( var x = 0; x < sliderSections.length; x++ ){
var sliders = sliderSections[x].getElementsByTagName("input");
for( var y = 0; y < sliders.length; y++ ){
if( sliders[y].type ==="range" ){
sliders[y].oninput = getVals;
// Manually trigger event first time to display values
sliders[y].oninput();
}
}
}

</section>No, the HTML5 range input only accepts one input. I would recommend you to use something like the jQuery UI range slider for that task.
Coming late, but noUiSlider avoids having a jQuery-ui dependency, which the accepted answer does not. Its only "caveat" is IE support is for IE9 and newer, if legacy IE is a deal breaker for you.
It's also free, open source and can be used in commercial projects without restrictions.
Installation: Download noUiSlider, extract the CSS and JS file somewhere in your site file system, and then link to the CSS from head and to JS from body:
<!-- In <head> -->
<link href="nouislider.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- In <body> -->
<script src="nouislider.min.js"></script>
Example usage: Creates a slider which goes from 0 to 100, and starts set to 20-80.
HTML:
<div id="slider">
</div>
JS:
var slider = document.getElementById('slider');
noUiSlider.create(slider, {
start: [20, 80],
connect: true,
range: {
'min': 0,
'max': 100
}
});
Sure you can simply use two sliders overlaying each other and add a bit of javascript (actually not more than 5 lines) that the selectors are not exceeding the min/max values (like in @Garys) solution.
Attached you'll find a short snippet adapted from a current project including some CSS3 styling to show what you can do (webkit only). I also added some labels to display the selected values.
It uses JQuery but a vanillajs version is no magic though.
@Update: The code below was just a proof of concept. Due to many requests I've added a possible solution for Mozilla Firefox (without changing the original code). You may want to refractor the code below before using it.
(function() {
function addSeparator(nStr) {
nStr += '';
var x = nStr.split('.');
var x1 = x[0];
var x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '';
var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
while (rgx.test(x1)) {
x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + '.' + '$2');
}
return x1 + x2;
}

var rangeGroup = $(this).attr('name'),
minBtn = $(this).parent().children('.min'),
maxBtn = $(this).parent().children('.max'),
range_min = $(this).parent().children('.range_min'),

minVal = parseInt($(minBtn).val()),
maxVal = parseInt($(maxBtn).val()),
origin = $(this).context.className;
if(origin === 'min' && minVal > maxVal-5){
$(minBtn).val(maxVal-5);
}
var minVal = parseInt($(minBtn).val());
$(range_min).html(addSeparator(minVal*1000) + ' €');
if(origin === 'max' && maxVal-5 < minVal){
$(maxBtn).val(5+ minVal);
}
var maxVal = parseInt($(maxBtn).val());
$(range_max).html(addSeparator(maxVal*1000) + ' €');
}

</div>The question was: "Is it possible to make a HTML5 slider with two input values, for example to select a price range? If so, how can it be done?"
In 2020 it is possible to create a fully accessible, native, non-jquery HTML5 slider with two thumbs for price ranges. If found this posted after I already created this solution and I thought that it would be nice to share my implementation here.
This implementation has been tested on mobile Chrome and Firefox (Android) and Chrome and Firefox (Linux). I am not sure about other platforms, but it should be quite good. I would love to get your feedback and improve this solution.
This solution allows multiple instances on one page and it consists of just two inputs (each) with descriptive labels for screen readers. You can set the thumb size in the amount of grid labels. Also, you can use touch, keyboard and mouse to interact with the slider. The value is updated during adjustment, due to the 'on input' event listener.
My first approach was to overlay the sliders and clip them. However, that resulted in complex code with a lot of browser dependencies. Then I recreated the solution with two sliders that were 'inline'. This is the solution you will find below.
var thumbsize = 14;
function draw(slider,splitvalue) {
/* set function vars */
var min = slider.querySelector('.min');
var max = slider.querySelector('.max');
var lower = slider.querySelector('.lower');
var upper = slider.querySelector('.upper');
var legend = slider.querySelector('.legend');
var thumbsize = parseInt(slider.getAttribute('data-thumbsize'));
var rangewidth = parseInt(slider.getAttribute('data-rangewidth'));
var rangemin = parseInt(slider.getAttribute('data-rangemin'));
var rangemax = parseInt(slider.getAttribute('data-rangemax'));
/* set min and max attributes */
min.setAttribute('max',splitvalue);
max.setAttribute('min',splitvalue);
/* set css */
min.style.width = parseInt(thumbsize + ((splitvalue - rangemin)/(rangemax - rangemin))*(rangewidth - (2*thumbsize)))+'px';
max.style.width = parseInt(thumbsize + ((rangemax - splitvalue)/(rangemax - rangemin))*(rangewidth - (2*thumbsize)))+'px';
min.style.left = '0px';
max.style.left = parseInt(min.style.width)+'px';
min.style.top = lower.offsetHeight+'px';
max.style.top = lower.offsetHeight+'px';
legend.style.marginTop = min.offsetHeight+'px';
slider.style.height = (lower.offsetHeight + min.offsetHeight + legend.offsetHeight)+'px';
/* correct for 1 off at the end */
if(max.value>(rangemax - 1)) max.setAttribute('data-value',rangemax);
/* write value and labels */
max.value = max.getAttribute('data-value');
min.value = min.getAttribute('data-value');
lower.innerHTML = min.getAttribute('data-value');
upper.innerHTML = max.getAttribute('data-value');
}
function init(slider) {
/* set function vars */
var min = slider.querySelector('.min');
var max = slider.querySelector('.max');
var rangemin = parseInt(min.getAttribute('min'));
var rangemax = parseInt(max.getAttribute('max'));
var avgvalue = (rangemin + rangemax)/2;
var legendnum = slider.getAttribute('data-legendnum');
/* set data-values */
min.setAttribute('data-value',rangemin);
max.setAttribute('data-value',rangemax);
/* set data vars */
slider.setAttribute('data-rangemin',rangemin);
slider.setAttribute('data-rangemax',rangemax);
slider.setAttribute('data-thumbsize',thumbsize);
slider.setAttribute('data-rangewidth',slider.offsetWidth);
/* write labels */
var lower = document.createElement('span');
var upper = document.createElement('span');
lower.classList.add('lower','value');
upper.classList.add('upper','value');
lower.appendChild(document.createTextNode(rangemin));
upper.appendChild(document.createTextNode(rangemax));
slider.insertBefore(lower,min.previousElementSibling);
slider.insertBefore(upper,min.previousElementSibling);
/* write legend */
var legend = document.createElement('div');
legend.classList.add('legend');
var legendvalues = [];
for (var i = 0; i < legendnum; i++) {
legendvalues[i] = document.createElement('div');
var val = Math.round(rangemin+(i/(legendnum-1))*(rangemax - rangemin));
legendvalues[i].appendChild(document.createTextNode(val));
legend.appendChild(legendvalues[i]);
}
slider.appendChild(legend);
/* draw */
draw(slider,avgvalue);
/* events */
min.addEventListener("input", function() {update(min);});
max.addEventListener("input", function() {update(max);});
}
function update(el){
/* set function vars */
var slider = el.parentElement;
var min = slider.querySelector('#min');
var max = slider.querySelector('#max');
var minvalue = Math.floor(min.value);
var maxvalue = Math.floor(max.value);
/* set inactive values before draw */
min.setAttribute('data-value',minvalue);
max.setAttribute('data-value',maxvalue);
var avgvalue = (minvalue + maxvalue)/2;
/* draw */
draw(slider,avgvalue);
}
