What was the largest page you ever created, and why was it that big?
Pages created via Server-Side script do count.
My largest? Well, the largest I ever created was a list of all possible colors. I can't remember how big it was, but I had to put it in a zip file to upload it to a server. I took it down soon afterwards, but it was so large that my virus checker considered it a "decompression bomb." I'm not kidding. I ultimately deleted it off my computer (which is why I can't tell you its actual size).
The largest page I ever created to be used is http://fba.furtopia.org/main_roster.php , which has the statistics for all players in a fantasy basketball league. Total size of page generated? 485KB.
The largest page I created without a server-side script was an earlier version of this stat sheet, which turned out to be between 350 and 400 KB.
So, who here has made a huge webpage?

The largest pages I've generated are private. I think the largest public page would be this: http://midbit.com/large_page.php
Why I made it?
... For the sake of being large.
When did I make it?
... about 2 minutes ago.

Oh yes, and it comes to 1256.62 KB in size.
(and will be removed from the server if it starts getting too many hits)

Making pages for the sake of being large is a snap, to be honest. Making a page large because of content, well, that's a trick.

My game manager mysql/php/javascript page is up to around 200k or so right now not including the javascript include files.

That's the older one. The one I'm working on here on my Mac is the most up to date copy and probably a bit bigger.

Edit: Yea, a quick look shows it at about 230k total not including the graphics.
Edit2: And it's to be used to manage characters during a game of Shadowrun. Either the GM can manage a group of characters, or an individual can keep track of their own character. I'm still in the formulation stages as I get the Javascript and MySQL working like I want. So the look will likely change as it settles down. But it will get bigger as I add capabilities. Currently the development one will let me save the information back into the mysql database.

Right now, mine is around 500K, just bare HTML.

Oh, and Svidgen? I built a page for serious use that beats yours. The HTML alone is 4,279.44 KB. It's an interface for some scheduling software, built from HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

I would like very much not to see it ... :)

I don't blame you. When a Javascript alert letting you know when the page has finally finished loading is warranted, one gets the idea that things are getting out of paw.
521 KB - HTML & CSS, and a few images (in the CSS)
The client didn't like to click on links to go to other pages; they wanted all their information on one page.
Making huge pages is easy... How about the smallest page you ever made? Obviously, pages that actually have useful stuff in them. Not something that just has "hello world" or something. Super optimized. Compressed and such. Now there's a challenge. :cool:

Smallest page? Lessee.... one of the least code-heavy pages I made would be a page I made as a protest to someone who said that any page could be made less than 10kb without changing content and be valid HTML. My answer:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Story Title</title>
<pre><!--Loads and loads of text--></pre>
The page still came out to over 20 KB.
As for my smallest page, it was one explaining that <html>, <head>, <title>, <body>, <h1>, <p>, <em>, and <strong> could make a perfectly functional webage, while using only those 8 elements. It came out to 4KB.
