What is the maximum length of html textbox

Question

can anyone help me with the length of maximum characters that can be contain in a normal HTML text box....

Answer 1

In HTML4, the maxlength attribute is only supported on the input element. HTML5 extends this to allow it on textarea as well. A quick test works in Firefox 4 and WebKit, but not Firefox 3 or Opera. If you need support for HTML4, use JavaScript to manually limit the length.
