URL: https://fragdenstaat.de/anfrage/informationen-dazu-warum-abgabe-der-stimme-per-eid-elektronischer-signatur-per-ausweis-nicht-mehr-angeboten-wird-in-deutschland-1/

Browser / Version: Firefox Mobile 129.0
Operating System: Android 14
Tested Another Browser: Yes Chrome

Problem type: Something else
Description: Surpassing max= in input does not lead to error message, but just no response/reaction
Steps to Reproduce:
If you have any request on FragDenStaat, and you try to add days on mobile Firefox for the expiration date of a FOI request, no response is shown.

STR:

1. Login /register for FragDenStaat.de
2. Write a FOI (freedom of information) request to an EU agency (as they have a limit of 15 days for answering).
3. Click the pencil near the expiration date and try to edit the date.
4. An input box for days will be shown. Add more than 15 there, surpassing the hard oded limit.

On Chrome and desktop Firefox a error message is shown, on mobile or is not.
This feels as if the website is broken. Would not I have known this limit, I would not have catched it.

Screenshot is comparison from Chrome, which makes more sense.

HTML seems to be this:

<input class="form-control" type="number" min="0" max="15" name="time" value="1">

As the platform is open-source here seems to be the relevant snippet in their code:

We appreciate your report. Unfortunately, a special account is needed in order to sign in. I've created an account and now I'm waiting to be accepted by the provider.

If the reporter (or anyone else) can do a more in-depth test and provide more information (console logs/errors/screenshots) regarding this issue, feel free to reopen and leave a comment (or you can send us an email with the test account credentials and we will test it on our own).

Suggestions:
• Clear cache/data/cookies, disable Ad-blocker (if available), or use a clean profile and check again
• If there are any changes made to the default settings of the browser (e.g. in about:config), please revert to the default settings

Well… you don't really need a special login, you can register with any mail, but you would need to send a FOI request e.g.

But yeah… it's basically just the HTML shown above.
Also see #140966 for a likely similar issue.

Thanks for the report. I was able to reproduce in Firefox Nightly, and Firefox Release.

Reproducible issues are moved to our Bugzilla component; please see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1921453

Closing as moved.

Ah and I found/remembered https://fragdenstaat.de/behoerde/7681/testbehorde/ – it's a test agency which you can use as the target to not spam any real agencies…
