Take the 2-minute tour ×  Maxlength of a text field is not being
readout by Jaws. Is there a way by which this information can be
made availble to the screen reader users?  share|improve this
question add comment  1 Answer  As a screen reader user who has
used Jaws for the passed 12 years the answer is no. If something
has a limited length such as a username or password you should
note this on the text of the page near the form field with the
limited length. For example near a username field you could put
something like "Username must be between 8 and 20 characters,
contain letters or numbers, and cannot contain spaces or
punctuation"  share|improve this answer +1 That information
should be surfaced to all users in a manner that's more obvious
than the "I can't type anymore" behavior that maxlength triggers
in browsers. –  steveax Sep 20 '11 at 7:12 add comment  Your
