Is there any other subroutine to handle min/max char check?

anbutechie has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
Lets say, the text field only accepts 5 characters. I have to check by passing more than 5 characters to the particiular field. When I pass using the SetValue subroutine of IEAutomation module, the field accepts the value (More than 5 characters). Is there any other subroutine to handle?
Regards,
Anbarasu

Read I know what I mean. Why don't you?, then try again. True laziness is hard work	[reply]

Is there a reason why `length` doesn't work for you?	[reply] [d/l]

I don't know what IEAutomation is capable of, but if it gives access to the DOM, you could modify the input element to remove its size limit.	[reply]
