Limit to number of Objects?

[mjpearson]

I'm rather new to JS.

I have a small program that builds a table of information. The table is built using JS. I have close to 100+ numerical items (INTEGERS) that need to go through a math equation before they get displayed in the table (REAL). I'm thinking about rebuilding the whole JS application. Right now, I stuff the INTEGERS into arrays and then perform math on each value in the array. I'm wondering if it makes more sense to build an OBJECT for each item? Is there a practical limit to the number of objects that can be instantiated?

If you're only talking hundreds, then that should be no problem. When you start to output tens of thousands of elements to a page, you might see some slowdown in some browsers, depending on how you've structured your markup, etc.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Dan,

I'll give it a try. I've always read that OOP can be very memory intensive and then making the browser do the work during download would make it semi-inefficient. Good to hear that it'll support numbers in the 100s without too much problem.

thanks,
