Size of a JavaScript variable

What can be the maximum size of the javascript variable? I want to store a String into a Javascript variable.

javascript != java.

You need to find a javascript forum for this.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused. I have already posted it on one of the JavaScript forums but didnt get any reply. So thought of posting it here.

what on earth for? this isn't a javascript forum. The languages have almost nothing in common.

At any rate, Javascript is loosely typed, so asking about the maximum value of a javascript variable doesn't really make sense.

how long are you talking? Probably it can hold a lot more then you would ever need to.

Would anyone mind answering a VBScript question, while we're at it?

Sure, go ahead...

How can I integrate VBScript and JavaScript on the same page?

Use IE? vbscript != java

Just playing around cuz I was curious... in IE this works, with JS and VB functions calling each other. Variables don't seem to be visible across languages though.

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>VBScript Test Page</TITLE>

<!--

Sub TestButton_OnClick()

MsgBox "VBScript function called, going to call JavaScript function now..."

callJS()

End Sub

Sub callVB()

MsgBox "JavaScript function called this VBScript function!"

End Sub

-->

</SCRIPT>

<!--

function doJS() {

alert("JavaScript function called, going to call VBScript function now...");

callVB();

}

function callJS() {

alert("VBScript function called this JavaScript function!");

}

-->

</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<HR>

<HR>

</BODY>

</HTML>

You could abuse hidden form variables to achieve that though.

Hey for all you know my work might consist of implementing AJAX through VBScript!

yes, and I assume returning values from functions works, so a special get/set variable function would be doable. (in case anyone cares to really limit themselves to IE)
