{{CSSRef}}

The **`:out-of-range`** [CSS](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS) [pseudo-class](/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Pseudo-classes) represents an {{htmlelement("input")}} element whose current value is outside the range limits specified by the [`min`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#min) and [`max`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#max) attributes.

{{EmbedInteractiveExample("pages/tabbed/pseudo-class-out-of-range.html", "tabbed-shorter")}}

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."

## Syntax

:out-of-range {
  /* ... */
