Hello I have a form that some of the input fields have maximum lengths set on them so people can only add so much text into each field. For instance. maxlength='30' But when the load the form with a pad they can enter a lot more text in. Why is this happening? I thought max length was max length under any circumstances. Please let me know, thank you very much.
Physically typing text via a browser into your input text field will be limited to 30 as you specify. Some robots and spam bots are able to complete a form without actually visiting your web page, they just submit the fields to your script and therefore bypass your maxlength requirements.
thanks for the tip, turns out thats not it in this case. This is happening to every pad entry, even when I can see on a page counter that they are filling in my prefill pads directly. I just don't get it.
