In HTML5, which input type is used to create a slider control for selecting a numeric value?

Question

Options

• A<input type="number">
• B<input type="range">
• C<input type="slider">
• D<input type="scroll">

• B
  91% (21)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

<input type="range"> renders as a slider control, letting users drag a thumb along a track to select a value within a defined min/max range. Option A (type="number") displays a numeric spinner/text field - it accepts numbers but shows no slider. Options C and D (type="slider" and type="scroll") simply don't exist in the HTML5 specification and would fall back to type="text". Memory tip: Think of a "range" as a spectrum between two endpoints - a slider visually represents that range, making range the natural, intuitive name for this control.
