Thank you Erik, n Niall As per Niall's suggestion, i changed "minLength" to all small "minlength"...n bingo it worked.... then I also used maxlenght ( with arg1, it also worked).
now this consideration that the variable name should be all small was not something i could digest, coz we are specifying it in <var-name> tags. ie we're stating what would be my variable name....So for testing, i changed variable names with 1. any other name than minlength, 2. all capital lettered variable name 3. all small lettered and 4. the 'minLength' again. And all these worked. Now i am more confused than earlier? :( any thoughts on this....and I couldnt find any info on this behaviour.

I don't know if this has been changed in more recent versions. You are pairing maxlength with arg1 in the example posted. Also, I think the var-name needs to be "maxlength", not "maxLength".
