:in-range

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The :in-range CSS pseudo-class represents an <input> element whose current value is within the range limits specified by the min and max attributes.

Try it

label {   display: block;   margin-top: 1em; }  input:in-range {   background-color: palegreen; } 
<form>   <label for="amount">How many tickets? (You can buy 2-6 tickets)</label>   <input id="amount" name="amount" type="number" min="2" max="6" value="4" />    <label for="dep">Departure Date: (Whole year 2022 is acceptable)</label>   <input     id="dep"     name="dep"     type="date"     min="2022-01-01"     max="2022-12-31"     value="2025-05-05" />    <label for="ret">Return Date: (Whole year 2022 is acceptable)</label>   <input id="ret" name="ret" type="date" min="2022-01-01" max="2022-12-31" /> </form>

This pseudo-class is useful for giving the user a visual indication that a field's current value is within the permitted limits.

Note: This pseudo-class only applies to elements that have (and can take) a range limitation. In the absence of such a limitation, the element can neither be "in-range" nor "out-of-range."

Syntax

css
:in-range {   /* ... */ }

Examples

HTML

html
<form action="" id="form1">   <ul>     Values between 1 and 10 are valid.     <li>       <input         id="value1"         name="value1"         type="number"         placeholder="1 to 10"         min="1"         max="10"         value="12"         required />       <label for="value1">Your value is </label>     </li>   </ul> </form>

CSS

css
li {   list-style: none;   margin-bottom: 1em; }  input {   border: 1px solid black; }  input:in-range {   background-color: rgb(0 255 0 / 25%); }  input:out-of-range {   background-color: rgb(255 0 0 / 25%);   border: 2px solid red; }  input:in-range + label::after {   content: "okay."; }  input:out-of-range + label::after {   content: "out of range!"; }

Result

Note: An empty <input> does not count as out of range, and will not be selected using the :out-of-range pseudo-class selector. The :blank pseudo-class exists to select blank inputs, although at the time of writing this is experimental and not well-supported. You could also use the required attribute and the :invalid pseudo-class to provide more general logic and styling for making inputs mandatory (:invalid will style blank and out-of-range inputs).
