How do we add the maximum number of characters allowed in an element in HTML?

HTML Web Development Front End Technology

In HTML, user input is obtained via the <input> tag. The min and max properties, which indicate a maximum and minimum value for an input field, are used to limit the input field. Use the maxlength attribute to restrict the number of characters.

Syntax

<input maxlength="number">

Following are the examples?

Example

In the following example we are using the maxlength attribute with the input type to allow maximum number of elements.



<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
style>
   body {
      text-align: center;
   }
</style>
<body>
   <form>
      UserId:
      <input type="text" name="username"
      maxlength="9"><br><br>
      Password:
      <input type="password" name="password"
      maxlength="4"><br><br>
      <input type="submit" value="Submit">
   </form>
</body>
</html>

Output

On executing the above script, the webpage will display an input type for userid and password, which are mentioned with a max length to limit the input elements, along with a submit button.

Example

In this example, let us look at the form contents with input having the max input characters;



<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <form action = "">
      Rank:
      <input type = "number" name = "rank" min = "1" max = "10"><br>
      Cricketer:
      <input type = "text" name = "cricketer" maxlength = "20"><br>
      <input type = "submit" value = "Submit">
   </form>
</body>
</html>

Output

On executing the above script, the webpage will display an input type for Rank ID and cricketer, which are mentioned with a max length to limit the input elements, along with a submit button.
