Question

Does anybody know if there is a length limitation for the onclick attribute in IE7? It seems that my onclick value is cut off after 259 chars.

EDIT: Thanks for all your answers. It seems there is not limitation for the onclick attribute. There must be a bug somewhere in my code.

Answer 1

Must be a typo in your value (e.g. unmatched quotes)…

this works fine for me… (1,537 chars)
