Whats the difference between max and maxlength?

[py8320540875]

Hello, does anybody know why we are taught to write minlength/ maxlength in text areas, when as min/max is understood and renders the same. Is it a better code? Does it render differently in other browsers if it is not written minlength/maxlength in text areas?

thank you

Hello py

Notice that minlenght/maxlength and min/max serve different purposes.

1. Minlength and maxlength attributes specify the minimum and maximum number of characters allowed in the element.
2. Min/max attribute specify the minimum and maximum value (we are talking about cyphers here) for an element.

According to w3fools, “the max and min attributes works with the following input types: number, range, date, datetime, datetime-local, month, time and week.”
