Verify maximum length of a field using selenium IDE

Question

i need to verify maximum allowed length for a field using selenium IDE. need advise from someone.

Answer 1

Using Selenium enter data into the field that is longer than the expected allowance. Then read from the field to determine if the maxchar attribute on the input field in question has limited your input.

Answer 2

Is there any defined command to identify the max length of a field ?

Answer 3

You can use the assertAttribute command as follows:

assertAttribute | id=myTextField@maxlength | 20

Replace 'id=myTextField' above with the appropriate locator, and '20' with the expected max length.
