AJAX: Character limits?

[sugapablo]

I have a simple AJAX script set up where the XML retrieved populates a DIV.

One XML field can be quite large. For example, one is 35,961 characters
long.

When viewed, the data seems cut off. Is there a limit to how many
characters Javascript can read into a string variable and pass to
innerHTML?

If so, what is that limit? Not to mention...any ideas on a workaround?

Which browser is that? Mozilla's XML DOM parsing is flawed in that the
parser creates adjacent text nodes if there is more that 32KB of data.
You need to either use textContent to get all text in an element or you
an call e.g.
httpRequest.responseXML.normalize()
before you access text nodes in responseXML

It was Firebird. So let me try what you suggested.
