Answer 1

I am posting solution which worked for me for anyone facing the same issue.As I wanted to change the css of the -webkit-slider-thumb on the fly so I did something like this I used a class for the input and added css for this class like this

.first_class::-webkit-slider-thumb {
           -webkit-appearance: none;
             width: 20px;
             height: 20px;

             border-radius: 10px;
             background-image: url('http://www.w3schools.com/html/smiley.png'),
             -webkit-gradient(
                 linear,
                 left top,
                 left bottom,
                 color-stop(0, #fefefe),
                 color-stop(0.49, #ffffdffffd),
                 color-stop(0.51, #d1d1d1),
                 color-stop(1, #a1a1a1)
             );
             background-size:20px;
             background-repeat: no-repeat;
             background-position: 50%;
         }

I also added the other set of css under a different class name like this

.second_class::-webkit-slider-thumb {
       -webkit-appearance: none;
         width: 20px;
         height: 20px;

         border-radius: 10px;
         background-image: url('http://someotherimage/test.png'),
         -webkit-gradient(
             linear,
             left top,
             left bottom,
             color-stop(0, #fefefe),
             color-stop(0.49, #ffffdffffd),
             color-stop(0.51, #d1d1d1),
             color-stop(1, #a1a1a1)
         );
         background-size:20px;
         background-repeat: no-repeat;
         background-position: 50%;
     }

Then using Jquery I changed the classes whenever I needed to change the css, i.e if I remove the first_class and add second_class to the input it will change the image of the -webkit-slider-thumb Thankyou for all those who tried to help.

<input type="range" />

There is now a CSS3 way of doing this which I think is much simpler and cleaner.

In your HTML tag you define a style tag such as:

style="--img-path:url('/images/small_blue_inner.svg') no-repeat 8px 8px #fff;"

In your CSS stylesheet your background would then read:

background:var(--img-path);

You can then set your style attribute with jquery the way you normally would:

$(slider).attr('style',"--img-path:url('/images/small_ALT_Img.svg') no-repeat 8px 8px #fff;--img-border:1px solid #11b6d1");

And as you can use these in pseudo elements I believe this is the best solution for 2018.

Answer 4

I have a little hack way to help you.

Here I have write a same selector as input[type="range"]::-webkit-slider-thumb in a <style> tag, and append it to the last of <head>.

And then, this style will cover the background-image you ever write.

$('<style>input[type="range"]::-webkit-slider-thumb { background-image: url("http://someotherimage/test.png");}<style/>').appendTo('head');
