853822 - (input-range) [meta] Further improvements to <input type=range> after the initial release

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Forms, defect, P5)

Description

[Jonathan Watt [:jwatt]]

There will be more work that we could do on <input type=range> to improve it further after the initial release. This is a meta bug to track any such work.

Things which will need to be done :
* Ability to style the slider and it's thumb
>> Introduce a ::-moz-slider-thumb pseudo element to style thumb
>> Ability to style the slider overall

* Right now the value changes after releasing the mouse, it should update while sliding like other browsers.

* -moz-appeareance:none should trigger the windows classic styling instead of the old range styling.

I suspect what you're describing here is bug 853670, which we consider invalid.

Why do you say that? Also what "old range styling"? The range implementation is new, so I'm not sure what you're referring to here.

Well when you put moz apparance:none it doesn't trigger the windows classic styling, also, it doesn't allow you to style it.
