I’m thinking about adding a little fake console to the Snippet Zone Quick Editor – just whipped this up as a proof of concept – something like this should work…

Range Slider and Progress Bar

```
const NUM = 8;
```
```
const NUM_M_1 = NUM - 1;
```

const ui = document.createElement('div')

```
ui.innerHTML = `
```
```
  <div class="ui">
```
```
    <div class="progress" data-ref>
```

      <div class="progressFill" data-ref></div>

```
    </div>
```
```
    <div class="text" data-ref>
```
```
    0% of 100%
```
```
    </div>
```
```
 
```
```
    <div class="dots" data-ref>
```
```
    ${
```

      `<div></div>`.repeat(NUM)
```
```
    }
```

    </div>

    <label>

      drag the slider...
```

      <input class="slider" type="range" min="0" max="100" step="1" value="0" data-ref/>

document.body.appendChild(ui);
```
```
 
```
```
// select everything with a `data-ref`
```
```
const els = {};
```

;[...document.querySelectorAll('[data-ref]')]

```
  .forEach(el => {
```
```
    els[el.classList[0]] = el;
```
```
  });
```
```
 
```
```
function update(e) {
```
```
 
```
```
  // normal prog bar
```
```
  const val = e.target.value;
```

  els.progressFill.style.width = `${val}%`;

```
  els.text.innerHTML = `
```
```
    ${val}% of 100%
```
```
  `;
```
```
 
```
```
  // segmented dot prog bar
```

  const idx = Math.floor(val / (100 / NUM));

```
  if (idx < NUM) { 
```
```
    for (let i = 0; i < NUM; i++) {
```
```
      els.dots.children[i]
```

        .style.background = i <= idx ? 'red' : 'white'

```
    }
```
```
  }
```
```
}
```
```
 
```

els.slider.addEventListener('input', update);

els.slider.addEventListener('change', update);

Drag slider and watch two progress bars and a text readout update. There are some interesting vanilla tricks in this one.

This trick and a variety of variations on it is pretty powerful:

```
const els = {};
```

[...document.querySelectorAll('[data-ref]')].forEach(el => {

```
  els[el.classList[0]] = el;
```
```
});
```
