Use    input   attr  maxlength   4  if you re using jQuery version  lt  1 6 and    input   prop  maxLength   4   if you are using jQuery version 1 6

No  This needs to be done in the HTML  You could set the value with Javascript if you need to though

I don t think you can  and CSS is supposed to describe how the page looks not what it does  so even if you could  it s not really how you should be using it   Perhaps you should think about using JQuery to apply common functionality to your form components

As others have answered  there is no current way to add maxlength directly to a CSS class   However  this creative solution can achieve what you are looking for    I have the jQuery in a file named maxLengths js which I reference in site  site master for ASP   run the snippet to see it in action  works well   jquery  css  html    x000D   x000D    function      x000D          maxLenAddress1   keypress function  event    x000D   x000D          if    this  val   length    5       obv 5 is too small for an address field  just want to use as an example though    x000D              return false  x000D            else   x000D              return true  x000D            x000D   x000D          x000D      x000D   maxLenAddress1      this is here mostly for intellisense usage  but can be altered if you like    x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 9 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   x000D   lt input type  text  class  maxLenAddress1    gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    The advantage of using this  if it is decided the max length for this type of field needs to be pushed out or in across your entire application you can change it in one spot  Comes in handy for field lengths for things like customer codes  full name fields  email fields  any field common across your application
