Browser Support
The max attribute is supported in Internet Explorer 10, Opera, Chrome, and Safari.
Note: The max attribute of the <input> tag is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions, or in Firefox.
Note: The max attribute will not work for dates and time in Internet Explorer 10, since IE 10 does not support these input types.
Definition and Usage
The max attribute specifies the maximum value for an <input> element.
Tip: Use the max attribute together with the min attribute to create a range of legal values.
Note: The max and min attributes works with the following input types: number, range, date, datetime, datetime-local, month, time and week.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5
The max attribute is new in HTML5.
