I can confirm the problem with  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b10pre) Gecko/20110116 Firefox/4.0b10pre SeaMonkey/2.1b2pre

STR:
1) load the URL
2) click on the button directly under the big flash area
3) enter text in the SMS textarea and it stops with 8 remaining chars and you can't enter them. This works with FF3.6.13, IE8 and Opera10.63

I will try to find a regression range

I don't know if this is right but the script give me this result:

Last good nightly: 2010-01-18 First bad nightly: 2010-01-19

I bet that this is from bug 535043 but the question is if this is a bug in the page or in Gecko.

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

  <textarea name="message" id="message" style="width:205px; height:95px;"
            onKeyPress="checkSymbol(event)" onKeyUp="checkSymbol(event)"
            onPaste="checkStr()" onClick="checkStr()" maxlength="120"></textarea>

says the site's source.  

And the page is broken in Safari and Chrome in the same way, of course, since those support maxlength on textarea.

So unless the spec is going to change here, this needs to be fixed on the site's end.

thanks

Comment 7

[Aleksandr]

there is no bug in firefox 3.6.13, its right.

Comment 8

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Firefox 3.6.13 didn't supported the maxlength tag for textfields. The page limits the textfield at 120 chars as you can easy see in the html source from that page that Boris posted in comment #5 (thanks Boris !). This will be broken in all future browsers.

Aleksandr, could you contact the site? They probably just need to remove the "maxlength" attribute Boris pointed out.

[Tim Babych]

Sent them a request through web-form.

This is still an issue.

Comment 12

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

The site has changed.
<textarea aria-describedby="sms_message-error" aria-invalid="false" aria-required="true" rows="4" required="required" class="form-control input-lg" id="sms_message" data-rule-maxlengthsms="38" style="resize:none;" name="MessageForm[message]"></textarea>

with a maximum size of 38 chars, which it does.
