limited parameter length?

[Volksbad]

Hi,

i am using cbe 4.19 to create a div to show some help.

onclick="myShowDIV(myTopic, myContent_iamverylarge)"

the parameter myContent can be very large (more than 6000 characters)

i noticed that if its more than about 4000 chars, opera doesnt show the DIV anymore (using Opera 7.11)

IE and Netscape dont have this problem.

any ideas?

Hi Markus,

If you're just using innerHTML then it's not really a CBE problem.

It sounds like Opera may have a limit on how much you can assign to innerHTML - but I'm not sure.

I'm not really familar with your app but perhaps there's a better way to do this, if the data is already in the document.

this is no CBE problem, i know.

if the data is already in the document, e.g. ns4 will show the hidden DIV, when javascript is disabled. (ns4 doesnt show CSS, when javascript is disabled)

so i have a DIV shown, which should be hidden.

MfG Markus
