The maxlength attribute can be used on an input element to define a client-side validation for the maximum length allowed on an input without resorting to JavaScript.
This attribute is only allowed on elements of type email, password, search, tel, text, or url.
The minlength attribute can be used on an input element to define a client-side validation for the maximum length allowed on an input without resorting to JavaScript.
This attribute is only allowed on elements of type email, password, search, tel, text, or url.
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. This value must be less than or equal to the value of maxlength, otherwise the value will never be valid, as it is impossible to meet both criteria.
Here’s an example:
<label for="name">Enter your name (max 25 characters)</label>
<input type="text" minlength="25" id="name">

The value tel-national cannot be used on the attribute autocomplete of an <input> element of type tel. Either change to type="text", or use autocomplete="tel". Examples:
<!-- Using autocomplete "tel-national" on type "tel" is invalid -->
<input name="phone1" type="tel" autocomplete="tel-national" />
<!--Using autocomplete "tel-national" on type "text" is valid -->
<input name="phone2" type="text" autocomplete="tel-national" />
<!--Using autocomplete "tel" on type "tel" is valid -->
<input name="phone3" type="tel" autocomplete="tel" />
