I was hoping to use HTML5’s input control (with range type) to allow our users to click up/down and increment/decrement a value represented inside of the control.
After taking a look at supported browsers: http://www.w3schools.com/html5/html5_form_input_types.asp, I found that this control was not supported in all the browsers I need it to be supported in.
I did a bit of Googling, but am not sure what keywords I should be using to dig up a more friendly version of this control. It seems all references to the words ‘input’ and ‘range’ immediately point me to the HTML5 version.
Does anyone know how I could emulate this functionality while still supporting IE8 and all modern browsers?
HTML5 Input range polyfill could be used.

Also, http://www.HTML5Please.com is an excellent site when stuck with fall back or polyfill doubts.
