are you using 

text_field(..).set('a string')
or
text_field(..).value='a string'

set should honour the max length value of the text field ( as specified in the 
html)

.value= will put the whole string in

      Hi,

         I want to write a test case to check maxlength validation for a text 
field.

    When I try to input a string which exceeds maxlength  into a text field 
using watir, the text field accepts the value and also saves it.  

    But  when I try to manually enter a string that exceeds maxlength it 
truncates the excess characters.

    How do I handle this??
