           Summary: input[type=range] should render vertically or
                    horizontally in response to specified dimensions, not
                    appearance switch
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Today, we use -webkit-appearance: slider-horizonal to render a horizontal slider and -webkit-appearance: slider-vertical to render a vertical slider. HTML spec suggests we should just automatically pick the appropriate orientation based on specified dimensions: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/number-state.html#range-state

This would also allow us to get rid of hard-coding the appearance cascade and an extra custom renderer we have in SliderThumbElement:
