Max length of characters? 1

[logius]

Does anyone know if IE (5.x and above) has a limit to the max length a line of javascript code can be? Thing is that I have a line of code that's being generated via a CF statement that's over 200 or so characters long in a single line, and I think this is causing an error in IE. Oddly, it works in Netscape. ----------------------------------------

I don't think there's a limit. I have some javascript code that writes almost a full page of html, using writeln, to a popup and some of the literals in that code are >200 characters (so the lines of javascript code are also >200 characters). It works fine. Tracy Dryden

Thanks, guess that's not the problem then. ----------------------------------------

If your statements have quotes in them, make sure they're all escaped or converted to apostrophes (but also beware of embedded apostrophes when you do this). That's a common problem with long javascript statements.

If you still can't figure it out, post some code here and we'll take a look. Tracy Dryden
