Browser limitation with maximum Page length

Question

We are managing html contents from datasource and directly write on the web pages using asp.net C#.

Here we are facing the problem : On the page complete contents are not displaying but while we check the Page source and copy/paste it into a static html page all contents will be displayed.

Is there any limitation of browser related to maximum length of a web page.

I googled and found that the limit of a web page should be 10-30KB but in the same project we have pages with length upto 55 KB.

Can anyone help me out?

Answer 1

Install firefox and firebug and try to examine any factors that could be affecting the source code. Unless you are changing something odd in the C# it shouldn't be cut off.

Answer 2

The limits (if they only exist) are higher than 50KB:

$ wget --quiet "http://www.cnn.com" -O- | wc -c
99863

I wouldn't believe there's any particular constant limit for page size. I would guess it rather depends on the memory size the web browser process can allocate.
