size - sets the width of the input based on characters. For example, I'll set the size to 30, the width of an input will be adjusted where it can fit 30 characters in a textbox but you can still type texts above 30 characters maxlength - sets the maximum characters inside an input. For example, I'll set the maxlength to 10, you can only type 10 characters and would prevent you to type if it reached 10 characters.
