  • I am betting it was not an HTML5 range input – epascarello Feb 08 '18 at 02:01
  • What kind then? – Krisjanis Lejejs Feb 08 '18 at 02:02
  • plenty of libraries that implement sliders/ranges out there. – epascarello Feb 08 '18 at 02:04

$(function() {
  var handle = $("#custom-handle");
  $("#slider").slider({
    create: function() {
      handle.text($(this).slider("value"));
    },
    slide: function(event, ui) {
      handle.text(ui.value);
    }
  });
});
body {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

#custom-handle {
  width: 3em;
  height: 1.6em;
  top: 50%;
  margin-top: -.8em;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 1.6em;
