How do you limit input length in a form?
Limiting Input Length in HTML Forms
In HTML, you can limit the number of characters a user can type in a form field using the maxlength attribute. This attribute is commonly used with <input> and <textarea> elements.
Key Points About maxlength
maxlengthdefines the maximum number of characters allowed in an input field.If a user tries to type more characters, the browser prevents additional input.
It works on text-based inputs (e.g.,
text,email,password) and<textarea>.It only controls the input length in the browser — server-side validation is still needed for security.
