The HTML5 Range slider input form element is interesting. Basically it's a 
visual analog "volume control" type slider to set a value.

But, in spite of it being a html element, it doesn't work in TW as far as I 
can tell.

Among other things, I hope to use it for experimenting with numberic CSS 
values.The slider could store a value in a state tiddler which is then 
transcluded into the CSS attribute. I hope to have a permanent slider 
somewhere that I just switch target for where it should apply.

For one thing, I think it could be used to make a much better UI for the 
Stylesheets. Considering how much of an impact the Stylesheets have the UI 
for them is "unproportionally neglected". The Theme Tweaks is, I guess, the 
attempt to handle this - but even here a Range slider could be of use for 
some values (there is little reason why a user should have to specify an 
*exact* number of pixels or % for the tiddler river column etc).


So.. any ideas how to make the Range slider input work in TW?


Further, to see the *output* value from a Range input, you apparently need 
another html element; the output tag.


Here's a jsfiddle <http://jsfiddle.net/Xjxe6/> example showing it does not 
use any javascript or CSS. It includes in a form which seems necessary 
there but in many other examples (see below) it does not seem required.
