Input type="range" polyfill (slider control)
Purpose
The <input type="range" />
element enables the display of a slider control bar. Because some browsers do not support this functionality natively, this polyfill emulates the same functionality using generic HTML and WAI-ARIA.
Working example
How to implement
To use the polyfill, a standard input type="range"
element must be used. In cases where a browser doesn't support the input type="range"
element, the polyfill is automatically loaded.
Configuration options
Configuration options available for the input type="range"
element (HTML5 specification)
