In theory I think the limit for the size of an element including all attribute content is 32k (i.e. very big) but in practise I would suggest keeping it shorter. Given that the summary attribute isn't available on many of the current generation of browsers, you might also consider using a caption element instead - that is rendered by nearly everything. cheers Charles McCN On Fri, 12 May 2000, Joel Sanda wrote: Hi; Does anyone know how much text can be entered in the table's SUMMARY attribute? My hunch is 255, which I think is the character limit in the ALT attribute. Thanks in advance!
