verify maximum length for a field using selenium IDE

i need to verify maximum allowed length for a field using selenium IDE.
need advise from someone.

hi,

you can verify its size because it is defined in its tag like

{ input type="text" size="24" name="search_keywords" class="inputbox medium" }

to get its size, use the following command
storeAttribute | search_keywords@size| variableName

By this you can get its default size. But you want its maximum input limit. If limit is defined in tag, you can verify it similarly.

But if not defined anywhere in tag, so you have to create some scenarios by input the size greater than its accepted and if error message appear, you could be verify with the help of that message.

Hope this help you. Best of luck.

Bye
