There seems to be a limit on the size of JavaScript file. My preliminary investigation ndicates that it may be 64k. Beyond that the page will stop loading without any warning. Personally, I don't think there should be a limit. If it is neeeded for easier coding, I guess 256k seems to be more reasonalbe size.

--> phil, would you try building a suitablly fat test case and trying it on shell & browser (i'm guessing it's an html parser issue not the engine)

Confirming to get this on developer's radar. Gerv

Sorry for the delay - I have just taken over as QA for the JS Engine. I do not observe any problem with loading JS files just because they are large. I do not encounter any limit of 65K. You can make very large JS files that load just fine either in the Mozilla browser or the JS Shell. If it is an HTML parsing problem, it would seem to be a duplicate of bugs 21637, 37409, 36285. Am marking this one as a duplicate - *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 21637 ***

Verified duplicate.
