Error handling for maxlength

Open jimporter opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Users should have the ability to enter more text than we allow, with the UI indicating that the form is now invalid. @changecourse Do you have any thoughts on what the UI should look like for this?

#207 is the user story meant to help define this experience.

@changecourse Can you provide UI instruction in #207 and then that can be linked back here. Thanks!

Will do.

For these use cases, I will post what I had mentioned in #207

This will be the first use case for error validation, based on the photon standards for styling, available here: http://design.firefox.com/photon/patterns/errors.html

Happy to mock up for each field, but the general approach for us moving forward in this use case would be to identify the one (or more) field(s) that hit the max, throw an inline error on the field identifying the max character count, and not allowing them to proceed with saving their entry until it is rectified.

What do you need additionally from me @jimporter or @sandysage regarding this?
