I'm creating a custom search using the fantastic jQuery plugin Filtrify.
The client has added a great deal more content than we initially expected, and now there are over well 5 000 HTML elements on the page.
My question: is there a recommendation for the maximum number of HTML elements on a page?
The page is still rendering - and the jQuery filtering still works well - but I'm worried about it tapping out at some stage in the future if they add even more data.

Any problems would be purely performance related. Many factors would go into finding a maximum number of elements without sacrificing performance. Multiple pages (http://luis-almeida.github.io/filtrify/jpages.html) will help the browser from using too much memory.

I know I can go directly to the HTML specifications to look up all of the attributes one can have on a tag (custom ones excluded obviously as per html 5). Its easiest(?) with the HTML 4.0 Spec to do this, but its messy to dig through. The same is true for the HTML 5 spec. What I want is a akin to "cheat sheet" that displays all HTML elements and their possible attributes on a single page.
Are there any other resources that show all of the attributes one can have on a given tag but on a single page without having to drill down or be bombarded with a lot of text and examples?
EDIT
I cleaned up my question to be more direct in what I am looking for
No!
A list of all html elements and their attributes won't possibly fit on a page, even 2--at least not on a human readable page!

This is what you want...4 pages.

I've seen widget used like a rather technical term, and the W3C has specifications for it. But Wikipedia says that a widget is just a piece of code that can be re-used in different ways. SE's definition for the widget tag doesn't fit either of those descriptions. What's a widget then?
I guess it depends on the context. On Android, a widget is an application that can be interacted with from the home screen. At my job, you can add widgets to your personalized intranet home page. But there's also the software application aspect, usually said to give a measure of the size of the application. So it has multiple meanings: a generally small GUI element devoted to a single purpose/application, or a small application as a whole.
Haha, and if you mouse-over the "widget" tag, it says something similar. Perhaps someone should expand the tag description.

I'd say I have pretty good grasp of core concepts of html/css/jQuery.
But I still have hard time trying to create a web page where it involves a lot of
use of div containers, making menu bars, and similar layouts.
There are some systems to help simplify layout, or at least prototype them. For example, http://960.gs is one that I've started from for many sites.

I am working in rails, and a looking for some resources to design visually pleasing HTML forms. I can write the CSS, so even examples would be great.
Any recommendations?
There are many resources out there, you can just google for well looking forms or something like this.
There are also javascript libraries which makes customized selects/checkboxes etc -for example a project called uniform - check it out, you might like it. It provides you tools to customize it.
You can try Gravity Forms for WordPress then you never need to hand code the html and it inserts unique id's and matching classes in the HTML. This means the sky is the limit when it comes to styling your form.
If you are not using WordPress, here is a nice tutorial for designing form layouts.

I have a "back office" page i am developing. I have created a series of buttons that turn divs on and off for the various functions of the office.
example buttons: change name, change date, create a new widget etc...
rather than load a new page with the proper forms and data I load it all up front and then hide it with
display: none;
when you want to perform a certain task, the button turns on that div..
display: block;
Is this ok or a hair brained idea sure to break at some point..
Thank you.
It's hairbrained and sure to break eventually, but if it meets your needs for data integrity / security and performance and you are OK with fixing it when / as things change, then it sounds like a solution that fits your needs (whatever those actually are)
