Description

The commit for #19686 adds maxlength to number inputs with max digits (https://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/19686/ticket-19686-claudep-github-revised.diff#L85)

Paste the following into ​http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input and submit:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
            <input type="number" maxlength="5">
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

One of the messages you'll notice is: maxlength when type is text, search, url, tel, e-mail, or password.

So, it appears that HTML5 doesn't allow a maxlength attribute for number inputs.

Agreed that ​we should remove this attribute on number input, I guess we overlooked this :/

I'll write a patch removing this feature and making sure tests don't fail. Should we add a release note concerning this change?

Has patch: set

Added a patch for review, the only possibly missing part is the release note.

The patch looks good.

7ec2a21be15af5b2c7513482c3bcfdd1e12782ed was committed after the 1.5 release and already includes a release note.
The note makes no mention of maxlength specifically, so I think we're good.

Great, I'll commit this. I thought we shipped this feature in 1.5, thanks for looking this up!
