Sharath, regarding the HTML 3.2 note, I found it inside a popular German HTML online book (de.selfhtml.org)
Also I found this two guys [1] and [2] -Matthias [1] http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/input_file.asp [2] http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/input_text.asp On 5/22/06, sharath reddy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Jon, I don't have an opinion either way, but take a look at RFC 1867 - Form-based File Upload in HTML at http://rfc.net/rfc1867.html: If the INPUT tag includes the attribute MAXLENGTH, the user agent should consider its value to represent the maximum Content-Length which the server will accept for transferred files. In this way, servers can hint to the client how much space they have available for a file upload, before that upload takes place. It is important to note, however, that this is only a hint, and the actual requirements of the server may change between form creation and file submission. --- "Jon Harley (JIRA)" <[email protected]> wrote: > [ > http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-432?page=comments#action_12412750 > ] > > Jon Harley commented on TOMAHAWK-432: > ------------------------------------- > > maxlength is a valid attribute of input for all > versions of HTML including XHTML.
