  Hi
  
  http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_input.asp says, there is a maxLength attribute. My controller states -1 on an example input field, but i think that means 'no limit'. So:
  $element.maxLength()
  
  Is this what you are looking for?

  well.. I am wrong.. have a look at this http://javascript.about.com/library/bltxtmax1.htm
  this is the underlying JS

  function textLimit(field, maxlen) {
    if (field.value.length > maxlen + 1)
    alert('your input has been truncated!');
    if (field.value.length > maxlen)
    field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlen);
  }
  

  but i see no way to get the maxlength.. well in this particular case you could read the element as Html and look for the onkeyup field and find the number 40
