Maximum String Length

Question:
What is the maximum length of a JavaScript string?

Answer:
Although there is no specific limit on the length of a JavaScript String, there are practical limits on how long your strings can get. In Netscape, you should be wary of creating strings longer than a megabyte in length (1,000,000 characters). On the other hand, Internet Explorer does a better job on string-related memory handling and can work with much longer strings without a problem.
