It seems the minlength attribute for an <input> field doesn't work.
Is there any other attribute in HTML5 with the help of which I can set the minimal length of a value for fields?

The minlength attribute defines the minimum 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 minlength is specified, or an invalid value is specified, the input has no minimum length.
The pattern attribute of the <input> element allows you to add basic data validation without resorting to JavaScript. It works by matching the input value against a regular expression.
Using built-in form validationOne of the most significant features of HTML5 form controls is the ability to validate most user data without relying on JavaScript. This is done by using validation attributes on form elements.
Client side validation occurs using HTML5 attributes and client side JavaScript. You may have noticed that in some forms, as soon as you enter an invalid email address, the form gives an error "Please enter a valid email". This immediate type of validation is usually done via client side JavaScript.
You can use the pattern attribute. The required attribute is also needed, otherwise an input field with an empty value will be excluded from constraint validation.
<input pattern=".{3,}" required title="3 characters minimum"> <input pattern=".{5,10}" required title="5 to 10 characters"> If you want to create the option to use the pattern for "empty, or minimum length", you could do the following:
<input pattern=".{0}|.{5,10}" required title="Either 0 OR (5 to 10 chars)"> <input pattern=".{0}|.{8,}" required title="Either 0 OR (8 chars minimum)"> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
