Yup, maxlength works still: http://jsfiddle.net/xhqsB/1/ (demo has textarea and input type of text)

Beware that it is fairly easy for the client to bypass these restrictions, so if you are submitting data to a form, have the server-side script check the length of the submitted data.

the maxlength attribute is new to HTML5 for <textarea> but has been available for <input type="text" /> for a while
