HTML5 input type range show range value

I am making a website where I want to use range slider(I know it only supports webkit browsers).

I have integrated it fully and works fine. But I would like to use a textbox to show the current slide value.

I mean if initially the slider is at value 5, so in text box it should show as 5, when I slide the value in text box should change.

Can I do this using only CSS or html. I want to avoid JQuery. Is it possible?

version with editable input:

<form>
  <input type="range" name="amountRange" min="0" max="20" value="0" oninput="this.form.amountInput.value=this.value" />
  <input type="number" name="amountInput" min="0" max="20" value="0" oninput="this.form.amountRange.value=this.value" />
</form>

Here's a vanilla JS way of automatically adding the value to all range inputs without any extra HTML.

Edit: Chrome only. I didn't realize it doesn't work with Firefox.

document.querySelectorAll('input[type=range]').forEach(e => {
  e.setAttribute('data-value', e.value);
  e.addEventListener('input', () => {
    e.setAttribute('data-value', e.value);
  });
});
input[type="range"]::after {
  content: attr(data-value);
  margin-right: -50px;
  padding-left: 10px;
}
<input type="range"><br>
<input type="range"><br>
<input type="range">

In plain JavaScript:

function displaySliderValue(eSlider){   
    eSlider.parentElement.querySelector('span').textContent = eSlider.value;
}
<div>
    <span>1</span><br>
    <input type="range" min="1" max="100" value="1" oninput="displaySliderValue(this);">
</div>

For those who are still searching for a solution without a separate javascript code. There is little easy solution without writing a javascript or jquery function:

<input type="range" value="24" min="1" max="100" oninput="this.nextElementSibling.value = this.value">
<output>24</output>

JsFiddle Demo

If you want to show the value in text box, simply change output to input.

Point to note: It is still Javascript written within your html, we can write something like below in js to do similar thing:

 document.registrationForm.ageInputId.oninput = function(){
    document.registrationForm.ageOutputId.value = document.registrationForm.ageInputId.value;
 }

Instead of element's id, name could also be used, both are supported in modern browsers.

Shortest version without form, min or external JavaScript.

<input type="range" value="0" max="10" oninput="num.value = this.value">
<output id="num">0</output>

Explanation

If you wanna retrieve the value from the output you commonly use an id that can be linked from the oninput instead of using this.nextElementSibling.value (we take advantage of something that we are already using)

Compare the example above with this valid but a little more complex and long answer:

<input id="num" type="range" value="0" max="100" oninput="this.nextElementSibling.value = this.value">
<output>0</output>

With the shortest answer:

  • We avoid the use of this, something weird in JS for newcomers
  • We avoid new concept about connecting siblings in the DOM
  • We avoid too much attributes in the input placing the id in the output

Notes

  • In both examples we don't need to add the min value when equal to 0
  • Removing JavaScript’s this keyword makes it a better language

Try This :

 <input min="0" max="100" id="when_change_range" type="range">
 <input type="text" id="text_for_show_range">

and in jQuery section :

 $('#when_change_range').change(function(){
 document.getElementById('text_for_show_range').value=$(this).val();
  });

For people don't care about jquery use, here is a short way without using any id

<label> userAvatar :

         onchange="$('~ output', this).val(value)" 
         oninput="$('~ output', this).val(value)">

I have a solution that involves (Vanilla) JavaScript, but only as a library. You habe to include it once and then all you need to do is set the appropriate source attribute of the number inputs.

The source attribute should be the querySelectorAll selector of the range input you want to listen to.

It even works with selectcs. And it works with multiple listeners. And it works in the other direction: change the number input and the range input will adjust. And it will work on elements added later onto the page (check https://codepen.io/HerrSerker/pen/JzaVQg for that)

Tested in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE11

;(function(){
  
  function emit(target, name) {
    var event
    if (document.createEvent) {
      event = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
      event.initEvent(name, true, true);
    } else {
      event = document.createEventObject();
      event.eventType = name;
    }

    event.eventName = name;

    if (document.createEvent) {
      target.dispatchEvent(event);
    } else {
      target.fireEvent("on" + event.eventType, event);
    }    
  }

  var outputsSelector = "input[type=number][source],select[source]";
  
  function onChange(e) {
    var outputs = document.querySelectorAll(outputsSelector)
    for (var index = 0; index < outputs.length; index++) {
      var item = outputs[index]
      var source = document.querySelector(item.getAttribute('source'));
      if (source) {
        if (item === e.target) {
          source.value = item.value
          emit(source, 'input')
          emit(source, 'change')
        }

        if (source === e.target) {
          item.value = source.value
        }
      }
    }
  }
  
  document.addEventListener('change', onChange)
  document.addEventListener('input', onChange)
}());
<div id="div">
  <input name="example" type="range" max="2250000" min="-200000" value="0" step="50000">
  <input id="example-value" type="number" max="2250000" min="-200000" value="0" step="50000" source="[name=example]">

  <input name="example2" type="range" max="2240000" min="-160000" value="0" step="50000">

an even better way would be to catch the input event on the input itself rather than on the whole form (performance wise) :

<input type="range" id="rangeInput" name="rangeInput" min="0" max="20" value="0"
       oninput="amount.value=rangeInput.value">                                                       

<output id="amount" name="amount" for="rangeInput">0</output>

Here's a fiddle (with the id added as per Ryan's comment).

If you're using multiple slides, and you can use jQuery, you can do the follow to deal with multiple sliders easily:

function updateRangeInput(elem) {
  $(elem).next().val($(elem).val());
}
input { padding: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd; color: #555; display: block; }
input[type=text] { width: 100px; }
input[type=range] { width: 400px; }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<input type="range" min="0" max="100" oninput="updateRangeInput(this)" value="0">
<input type="text" value="0">

<input type="range" min="0" max="100" oninput="updateRangeInput(this)" value="50">
<input type="text" value="50">

Also, by using oninput on the <input type='range'> you'll receive events while dragging the range.

if you still looking for the answer you can use input type="number" in place of type="range" min max work if it set in that order:
1-name
2-maxlength
3-size
4-min
5-max
just copy it

<input  name="X" maxlength="3" size="2" min="1" max="100" type="number" />

This uses javascript, not jquery directly. It might help get you started.

function updateTextInput(val) {
          document.getElementById('textInput').value=val; 
        }
<input type="range" name="rangeInput" min="0" max="100" onchange="updateTextInput(this.value);">
<input type="text" id="textInput" value="">

If you want your current value to be displayed beneath the slider and moving along with it, try this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>MySliderValue</title>

</head>
<body>
  <h1>MySliderValue</h1>

  <div style="position:relative; margin:auto; width:90%">
    <span style="position:absolute; color:red; border:1px solid blue; min-width:100px;">
    <span id="myValue"></span>
    </span>
    <input type="range" id="myRange" max="1000" min="0" style="width:80%"> 
  </div>

  <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
var myRange = document.querySelector('#myRange');
var myValue = document.querySelector('#myValue');
var myUnits = 'myUnits';
var off = myRange.offsetWidth / (parseInt(myRange.max) - parseInt(myRange.min));
var px =  ((myRange.valueAsNumber - parseInt(myRange.min)) * off) - (myValue.offsetParent.offsetWidth / 2);

  myValue.parentElement.style.left = px + 'px';
  myValue.parentElement.style.top = myRange.offsetHeight + 'px';
  myValue.innerHTML = myRange.value + ' ' + myUnits;

  myRange.oninput =function(){
    let px = ((myRange.valueAsNumber - parseInt(myRange.min)) * off) - (myValue.offsetWidth / 2);
    myValue.innerHTML = myRange.value + ' ' + myUnits;
    myValue.parentElement.style.left = px + 'px';
  };
  </script>

</body>
</html>

Note that this type of HTML input element has one hidden feature, such as you can move the slider with left/right/down/up arrow keys when the element has focus on it. The same with Home/End/PageDown/PageUp keys.
