[Radiant] Maxlength attribute not displaying on mailer generated form

2010-04-29 Thread Victor Zuniga
Hi there,

One of our staff members encountered an interesting behavior when setting up
a form for a local activity. They wanted to limit the amount of characters a
user can type within the text box. They went ahead and used the maxlength in
the following manner:

 r:mailer:text name=1engraving4x8 id=1engraving4x8 maxlength=13  /

However, when looking at the generated page on the browser (View  Page
Source) the attribute is nowhere to be found. If I go back to edit the page,
I¹ll find the attribute where is meant  to be placed.

In the other hand, if I code this as regular html:

input type=text name=1engraving4x8 id=1engraving4x8 maxlength=13 /

Then I am able to see it reflected on the page source and the attribute is
applied to the form.

Any ideas as to why is not displaying when using the mailer form tags?


Thanks in advance,

Victor

the mailer extension only allows you to pass the size, class and
id attributes through. i've run into this before and in my fork
accept many more attributes.

i've pushed up the changes now. some of the new html5 inputs types are
added and most attributes are now allowed (the few i left out didn't
seem to make sense in this context). if you're trying to set boolean
attributes you'll need to use the long version; e.g.
autofocus=autofocus
