:out-of-range - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets

The :out-of-range CSS pseudo-class represents an <input> element whose current value is outside the range limits specified by the min and max attributes.

/* 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);
}

This pseudo-class is useful for giving the user a visual indication that a field's current value is outside the permitted limits.

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."
