Description

I am attempting to use the StringLength validator for an action's "save" alias, to ensure that a text-field input is between 3 and 1024 characters long (the minLength and maxLength params, respectively). When testing the validation, I noticed that strings of any length were being rejected by the client-side Javascript validation (I am using the xhtml theme). Looking at the generated Javascript code in the page source, it appears the problem is that my maxLength parameter is being printed with locale formatting (as it is in when substituted into my error message), rather than as a raw number:

if(value.length > 0 && (
(3 > -1 && value.length < 3) ||
(1,024 > -1 && value.length > 1,024)
))

{ addError(field, error); errors = true; }
