Limiting the width of a field for integer data

[Bharat]

This may not be a limitation of Simple Form but rather Rails or HTML
forms or just lack of my knowledge.

I am trying to limit the number of integer characters that can be
entered for an integer valued field as shown below:

<%= form.input :instructor_access, :hint => "weeks", :input_html =>
{:maxlength => 2} %>
<%= form.input :course_access, :hint => "weeks", :size => 2 %>
<%= form.input :refund_period, :hint => "hours", :size => 3 %>
<%= form.input :refund_percent, :hint => "0 to 100", :size => 3 %>

I have tried various combinations but none seem to work. This is not
a problem for text/string type fields. Can this be done?

Thanks.

I believe the :input_html => { :maxlength => XX } option should work properly.

SF does not do anything with maxlength in NumericFields, only set it for string fields and if it is not set.

Hello Carlos,
I tried it again. Does not work.
Thank you regardless.

Weird.. which version of SF? Did you try with default Rails text / number fields?

Hello Carlos,
I am on Simple Form version 1.3.1 with Rails 3.0.3 and MRI 1.9.2 p0.
I am not sure if I understand what you mean by "Did you try with
default Rails text/number fields?"
Thanks.

Bharat, I mean if you have tried using Rails form_for with text_field or number_field, setting the maxlength attribute, without using SimpleForm.

If that works, probably is something with SimpleForm, otherwise the issue might be in Rails itself.
