You mean "Expound" on the Summary.

If you'll view this page in IE, you'll see how it's supposed to appear.
Specifically, the fields "Student Birthday (mm/dd/yyyy)" and the field
requesting the Social Security Number are cut off.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the page.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The problem occurs.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the fields the same way IE displays them -- in whole.

You have set up too many hoops for people to jump through to report a bug.
Really enjoy your browser, though.
The HTML for that site reads

<INPUT NAME="a_03_Soc_Sec_No" id="a_03_Soc_Sec_No"					
ONFOCUS="focusField(this.name);" VALUE="Student SSN - (optional)"
 SIZE="49" MAXLENGTH="11">

So isn't this expected behaviour? Only the first 11 chars of the VALUE are
displayed.
WFM.  The site no longer uses maxlength for those fields.
