HTML5 forbids the size attribute on input fields
Reported by Stephen Touset | August 24th, 2010 @ 04:30 PM
#5084 removed the size attribute from file_field input tags, but the bug actually extends to any and all input elements. The size attribute has been removed as of HTML5. DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS should have its size key removed for HTML5 compatibility.

I should add, more than that, options["size"] is set to options["maxlength"] in to_input_field_tag, and this should be removed as well.

After a rereading of the spec, this bug is more complicated than I originally thought. The size attribute is not gone entirely, but applies to only specific fields. I will write up a more comprehensive bug report later. Please close this one, as it is invalid.

Was just about to file this bug report, but Stephen was a step ahead. Great that you'll file it.

Why is this marked invalid? size should never be used in any input.
