Text area input fields do not have such an attribute in XHTML.
So this patch is not applicable.

maxlength is a valid attribute for HTML5 and as I understand the default Joomla template (Beez5) in addition to a lot of 3rd parties are releasing HTML5. Alternative is a JS based implementation or simply removing the parameter all together (would be better then having users find out after POST they input too many characters, that'd be frustrating); actually, shouldn't there be a validation rule for jQuery validation to handle maxlength?
- Target version changed from CB 1.8.1 to CB 1.9
Rev1 adds a validation rule for the textarea for maxlength when using new validation method (default). This will at least inform the user before they attempt to submit that they've surpassed the maximum.
- Subject changed from Max Length isn't adding input attribute to prevent overflow to Textarea field types: Max Length isn't adding input attribute to prevent overflow
- Status changed from Resolved to Closed
- Estimated time set to 3:00 h
r1891 implements both fixes as proposed, so that old and new browsers should be happy.
Thank you Kyle.
r1909 reverts broken Javascript part of fix of r1891:
CB mass-mailing on Joomlapolis was broken by this.
HTML 5 part of fix is enough here.
