Chrome and Jquery Selector and Maximum size 49800 characters

[zzcyanide]

I am using ajax to return a content web page. The content happens to be greater than 49800 characters. IE and Firefox handle this with no problems, but in Chrome, it returns null.

Steps to reproduce:

1. create a html content page with greater than 49800 characters.
2. make a div with an identity you want to select, id="Title"
3. load the page via ajax, and return the html content
4. use a selector on the content to return the title:

function LoadContent( page ){

$.ajax

({

url: page ,cache: false ,success: function(html){ ContentLoaded(html); } ,error: function(httpObject, textStatus, errorThrown ) { alert( textStatus + " and " + errorThrown ); } ,dataType: "text" ,data:{} ,timeout:10000

});

} LoadContent

function ContentLoaded( html ){

var title = $("#Header", html).html(); alert( title );

}

This will throw an error in Chrome.

I am not sure if this is a maximum variable size limit in chrome or something something.

Doom on you Chrome!

This is related to #3178 and most likely due to this (now-fixed) bug in Chrome/Safari:
