Obviously it is quite trivial to detect if the maxlength in an input element has been reached by using JavaScript.
But I was wondering if there is a way currently, or alternatively in any future standards, to do something along the lines of (psuedo-code example) input:maxlength or input:length=[maxlength].

The maxlength attribute defines the maximum number of characters (as UTF-16 code units) the user can enter into an <input> or <textarea> . This must be an integer value 0 or higher. If no maxlength is specified, or an invalid value is specified, the input or textarea has no maximum length.
Use $("input"). attr("maxlength", 4) if you're using jQuery version < 1.6 and $("input"). prop("maxLength", 4) if you are using jQuery version 1.6+.
To set the maximum character limit in input field, we use <input> maxlength attribute. This attribute is used to specify the maximum number of characters enters into the <input> element. To set the minimum character limit in input field, we use <input> minlength attribute.
Complete HTML/CSS Course 2022 The HTML <input> tag is used to get user input in HTML. To give a limit to the input field, use the min and max attributes, which is to specify a maximum and minimum value for an input field respectively. To limit the number of characters, use the maxlength attribute.
At the moment, there is no way to detect if an input (text or textarea) has reached its max length in CSS or CSS3. If you really want to check it, you'll need javascript as you said yourself.
As for future plans: I haven't seen anything about something like that on the W3C pages, even though it would be very useful. :)
