Creating progress bars with divs and CSS is complex. HTML5 meter shows value ranges natively.
Basic Usage:
<meter min="0" max="100" value="75">75%</meter>
With Optimal Ranges:
<meter
min="0"
max="100"
low="25"
high="75"
optimum="50"
value="80">
80% (High)
</meter>
<!-- Browser colors bar automatically:
0-25: Red (low)
25-75: Yellow (medium)
75-100: Green (high) -->
Use Cases:
– Disk usage
– Battery level
– Rating scores
– Relevance indicators
– Health bars
Style It:
meter {
width: 200px;
height: 20px;
}
Semantic, accessible, styled by browser!
