Agreed. The scenario I'm really after is 'style the following vertical slider
controls this way' e.g. as you might want to do in a UA or user stylesheet.
An orientation property does not help with that. Yet, if the control has
pseudo-elements and CSS properties are physically oriented you need a way
to switch your style.
In other words I'd like to express something like:
input[type="range"]:horizontal {
....
}
input[type="range"]:vertical {
...
}
...without making :horizontal or :vertical depend on the width and height properties.
If that makes sense ?
