<br>
I have a request and a question about Web Form attributes:<br>
<br>
--- minlength ---<br>
I'd like to see a minlength attribute that can be used on the same elements as
the maxlength attribute. The default value can be "0" unless the
required atribute is set (in that case it should be >1). The value of the
element should be trimmed of spaces at the beginning or the end before
validating/submitting (perhaps this could be made optional in which case
negative values could be used for the minlength attribute to indicate whether
the trimming has to take place or not).<br>
<br>
<br>
--- autocomplete ---<br>
The autocomplete attribute acts as a boolean, but its values are not consistent
to other booleans, being either attributes or variables.<br>
Why not use autocomplete="autocomplete" or its minimised form? Is it
because it's not the "on" state that is important, but the
"off" state. If so, I'd suggest to use "true" or
"false" instead or rename the attribute to noautocomplete. If it's a
backward compatibilty issue then I suggest both on/off and true/false should be
allowed.<br>
<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
