On FireFox, in a textbox (asp.net textboxes), with maxlenth=10, it is possible 
to add a new caracter at the beginning or at the end of the string, evenif the 
maximum caracter length is already reached.

Exemple : in a day date textbox (dd/mm/aaaa), seize "11", keypress "tab" to 
focus on the month date textbox, keypress "Shift + Tab" to focus back to the 
day date textbox, keypress right or left arrow and "1" : The result is "111" in 
a textbox which maxlength=2 !!?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.in a day date textbox (dd/mm/aaaa), seize "11", 
2.keypress "tab" to focus on the month date textbox, 
3.keypress "Shift + Tab" to focus back to the day date textbox, 
4.keypress right or left arrow and "1"
Actual Results:  
The result is "111" in a textbox which maxlength=2 !!?

Expected Results:  



HELP URGENTLY :-)

If there's a maxlength on a textbox, FireFox should block the number of 
caracter in each case...
