Setting Value of input with maxlength

Hi,
I have been mostly using Sahi with Firefox. One thing that I am doing is setting a value of a textbox that is longer than the maxlength of the element. I then verify that the data had been truncated. It works on FF.
However, in IE7, I do this and no matter what the maxlength of the item is, IE allows as many characters as I want. So, if the element is limited to 10 chars and I enter 11, 11 characters show up in the element.
Is there a way I can get around this using Sahi, or is this just an IE quirk that I'll have to put up with?
Thanks,
Tim

This is a known bug right now. We haven't looked at this for some time now, but I will look at it and see if this can be fixed. Thanks for bringing to our notice again.
