maxium length of parametes?

[David j]

<script>
function test(str) {
alert(str)
}
</script>

The JavaScript function listed above takes a string as a parameter.
If the string is <=2055 characters it works as expected. Anything

=2056 characters and it doesn't work. The alert box is never

displayed.

In IE 6 is doesn't work, mozilla 1.6 it works fine.

Any ideas why this isn't working in IE? Is there a limit to the
lenght of string in IE?

It's that the size of the alert's output is limited (I think). Try a
document.write instead.

Works fine in IE6 SP1 here:

<script>
function test(str) {
alert(str)
}

test((new Array(9999)).join("x"));
</script>

Are you sure the problem isn't with what you're passing to test()?
