The :out-of-range CSS pseudo-class matches when an element has its value attribute outside the specified range limitations for this element. It allows the page to give a feedback that the value currently defined using the element is outside the range limits. A value can be outside of a range if it is either smaller or larger than maximum and minimum set values.
/* Selects any <input>, but only when it has a range */
/* specified, and its value is outside that range */
input:out-of-range {
background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.25);
}
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'.
