attribute length

[kaos]

I have a jscript that writes HTML to a hidden layer which creates floating layer/alt txt effect in onmouseover action.

however I noticed some longer text(over 300 character) just won't show, is there a limit on how long an html tag can be(or attribute can be? eg. 255 or something...)

More likely, it is the size and overflow attribute of the element that contains the text that is causing the cutoff.

thanks, I experiment some more and found length is okay, but all trouble ones has ^M in it so maybe that's why...

The caret (^) is used in regular expressions, though I wouldn't expect it to be invalid in a plain string variable. You could try escaping the caret with the backslash (\^) and see if that gets you anywhere.
