I’m working on a jQuery project that use’s many classes to sort products. Does anybody know if jQuery might set a maximum number of classes?

By adding classes in exponential numbers, you’re seriously affecting the accuracy of your test. By the time you reach 2000+ classes, you don’t know whether the browser will fail to accept 2001 classes or 4000 classes.

Testing in Firefox can be easier if you modify http://kb.mozillazine.org/Dom.max_script_run_time to a higher value (don’t set time to 0 as the script will probably run forever!)

Knowing how computer limits work (usually base 2 numbers, unless something is specifically set by the programmer), the limit is probably something like 65,536, or 2^16. Don’t ask me to expound on that number, I just see it as a common limit for computers :) it all depends on how many bits the browser uses to keep track of the classes.
