maxlength in cell

How do I apply a maxlength attribute to a grid cell?

gridobj.getCellTemplate(3,1).getContent("box/text").setAttribute("maxlength", "2");

Is this how?? This does not seem to work though!!

The grid cell editor is not an input tag but a span with contentEditable=true. The new 2.0.1 release will allow implementing maxlength check programmatically.

Many thanks Alex.. for now what would you suggest as a work around?

Maybe attach keyboard event handler to the edited span element in onCellEditStarted event and removing it in onCellEditEnded.
