I'm extracting this question from the various discussions in several forums:
For slider controls (
<input type=range>
,<progress>
,<meter>
, potentially<input type=checkbox switch>
, etc.) there is a desire to be able to control:In current browsers, #1 is controlled by the CSS
writing-mode
property, and #2 is controlled by the CSSdirection
property. This does allow full control of orientation and direction for sliders, and at least recently (thanks @dizhang168), this behavior is implemented interoperably, despite a lack of standards for this behavior. However, because of #3 (see whatwg/html#4177 (comment) in particular), it might make sense to have a specific CSS property to control the orientation and direction of slider type controls. One tricky detail will be getting it to behave predictably in the face of existingwriting-mode
/direction
behavior, and maybe even the non-standardorient=vertical
