Here's a quick little example based on the VBScript article here at eggheadcafe.com designed to give you faster string concatenation capabilites.

Here's the VBScript sample:

Here's the JavaScript sample that uses an Array object. The .push() method adds
the string to the end of the array. The .join() method converts the Array object
to a string represenation. I've chosen a blank space as the delimiter arguement.
You can put any character you like as the delimiter.

With large strings, your speed will improve drastically...

<script language=javascript>

var oInputArray = new Array();
var sH='';

oInputArray.push("string 1");
oInputArray.push("string 2");
oInputArray.push("string 3");

sH = oInputArray.join(' ');
alert(sH);


</script>
