hi all, does anyone know whether there is a limitation to the amount of
absolute positioned objects that IE is capable of handling?

i wrote a very simple program that generates an HTML page with 40000 abs
positioned divs and IE (IE6, IE7 32bit and 64bit) always stops rendering
after the 32763 div. FireFox on the other hand works fine with the same
page.

thanks in advance for any hint.
