Input size attribute isn't supported

It seems that the input size attribute isn't supported. Ordinarily I would just work with the flex attribute, but it's easier to size the input based on the number of characters rather than the percentage width.

Can't you put native attributes on the <input> inside of <md-input-group>? Is CSS getting in the way? A Codepen or Plunker would help us take a closer look at this issue. Thanks.

@marcysutton take a look at this Pen: http://codepen.io/ilanbiala/pen/dPdXpd. I'm using it inside an md-list, but I would think the styles should still apply especially when it's a browser feature and not an ngMaterial one.

@marcysutton I updated the Pen with another input inside only the form and still it isn't size 4. Take a look at the last 2 inputs to see what I mean.

I see what you're talking about, but widths are handled by the flex layout system. There is a fundamental conflict between supporting widths as native attributes and providing a layout system in CSS. Bootstrap inputs don't respond to this attribute either. Recommending you use CSS and validate input lengths with JS instead.
