TextArea MaxLength - Supported or Not Supported?
html, jquery, textarea, w3c
Solution
Yes, `maxlength` was added to `<textarea>` in HTML5, so that's why you're seeing the behavior in newer browsers.
Do you need a plugin? that depends...if you need to support older browsers, then yes.
Problem
I was getting ready to add a jQuery plugin to support maxlength on textarea's and noticed that the MaxLength attribute is working natively on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. Is this thanks to HTML5 or ? Does that means having a maxlength on textareas no longer requires a jQuery type plugin? Thanks
