I'm not sure about that (the limit being inherent in the browser app). Initially, I thought so. I thought that nn4 had a code line limit of 32k until I figured out how to pass a single, unbroken string that the browser would read as multiple lines (spitting ["'string 1'" + "\n" + "' +string 2'"] out of perl looks like one unbroken string to javascript, but two lines to the browser), and that didn't work. I then thought that javascript might not be able to handle a string longer than 32k. To test that, I had javascript assemble a string 200k characters long and then alert(that long string) which worked fine. (I also had it print that long unbroken string to the document, which worked fine, which corroborated the browser test.) So, at this point, it looks like the dynapi new label(long string) call itself.
