I believe that you can set the attributes on an <input type="text"...> but only if you create it specifically as in:
INPUT(_type='text',_name='student_last_name',_value='Smith',_size='20',_maxlength='30') ...as all attributes prefixed '_' are used to create html tag attributes. At the moment, I don't believe that you can just specify values for size and maxlength anywhere and they will be automatically included when the FORM is created. This re-raises the question of "if you could where would you put it?" as is it view information or model information :-) On Nov 7, 5:26 pm, "Wes James" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 10:17 AM, mdipierro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > requires=IS_LENGTH(256) > > > this is automatic for SQLFORMs if a SQLField(....,length=256) > > > On Nov 7, 11:08 am, "Wes James" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> How do you set on a per field basis the maxlength - i.e., the total > >> text someone can type in a form input field.
