The :out-of-range<\/code> pseudo selector in CSS matches input elements when their value is outside the range specified as being acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<input max=\"10\" min=\"5\" type=\"number\"><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
input:out-of-range {\n  border: 5px solid red;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
I believe it’s only relevant on input[type=number]<\/code>. Range inputs don’t allow values outside their min\/max and it doesn’t make much sense on any other type of input. Perhaps text-y inputs with a max<\/code> length, but the behavior on those in most browsers is to prevent entry past the max anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The selector is defined in the Selectors Level 4 specification<\/a>, alongside its counterpart, :in-range<\/a><\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n
Demo<\/h4>\n\n\n
Just like the code above, this input will have a green border when its value is between 5 and 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
