## INTERFACE

The interface is the same as the one described in CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input, with the following additional attributes:

- "max\_length"

  The maximum allowed text length within the field.  If not defined, it means the length is not limited.

- "size"

  The size of the displayed text field, in characters.  The text held within the field can be much larger than that, however.
