Difference between “maxlength” & “size” attribute in html?

Question

I am little bit confused about the difference between the maxlength and the size attribute.

Answer 1

size is "how big" it should be on screen. max-length is the maximum number of characters the browser should allow to be entered into a field. They're not at all related. You could have have size = 50 kajillion, max-length=1 if you wanted to be a sadistic page designer.
