What they *might* be asking is -> A designer wants to format text boxes to be the same horizontal size even though their inputs are set at different maximums. For example, a phone number field takes 11 digits, give or take, and a name field takes 30 let's say, but the designer might want them both to be the same visual size to make the form prettier.
This is a complete guess, so ignore it if it's completely irrelevant. :) -----Original Message----- > I have been googling without success around for a way to set maxlength > for form inputs in CSS -- is this possible as far as anyone knows? > > If not, and if I have to use Javascript to achieve this task, can > someone point me to a Javascript discussion list that is equivalent to > this CSS list? What is wrong with <input maxlengh="20" ... >? A maximum length is not a visual attribute, it is a data restriction, and therefore not the job of css. With JavaScript you"d need to read out the value length of the element on every keyup and stop at a certain length. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
