'Max length' does not work on chrome 18.0 & firefox in android 14.0.1.It works on the default android browser. Tapping on the button for max length does nothing,we can still type text more than the count of 10. It works fine on desktop browsers & iphone. Tested on: Titanium studio : 2.1.1.201207271312 SDK version : 2.2.0.v20120810194112 Android 4.0.4 - default ,chrome 18.0 , firefox 14.0.1 Iphone 4.3.5 - safari mobile Mountain lion(10.8) - chrome 21.0,safari 6,firefox 14.0.1

Those browser's must not support the "maxlength" css property then. We have a different ticket setup for shimming it in browser's that don't natively support it.
