190425 - Mozilla ignores the "maxlength" attribute in text-input fields.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Christopher Curzio]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030123
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030123

As demonstrated using my paging form (See URL), you are able to enter a number
of characters that greatly exceeds that defined in the input's "maxlength"
attribute. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML form utilizing input type="text" and a defined "maxlength"
2. Use Mozilla to view the form and input a value that exceeds the maxlength.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla allows you to continue entering data after the maxlength has been met
and exceeded.

Expected Results:  
Disallow further input once maxlength has been met.
