I'm trying to find a way to prevent the user from clicking into the "track" portion of an HTML5 range input. Essentially, I only want the user to be able to use the "handle" to change the range value.
Is this even possible?

It's possible through pointer-events at least on chrome.
input[type=range] {
pointer-events: none;
}
input[type=range]::-webkit-slider-thumb {
pointer-events:auto;
}
This will disable clicking on the track and enable clicking only on slider thumbs.
Adding disabled should work.
<input id="rangeindicator" disabled type="range" name="points" min="1" max="10">
and then you can easily change the values using jQuery, like this:
$("#rangeindicator").val(1)
