“Stack overflow in line 0” on Internet Explorer

Question

I realise this is not the ideal place to ask about this in terms of searchability, but I\'ve got a page whose JavaScript code throws \"Stack overflow in line 0\" errors when

Answer 1

In my case I had two functions a() and b(). First was calling second and second was calling first one:

var i = 0;
function a() { b(); }
function b() {
  i++; 
  if (i < 30) {
    a();
  }
}

a();

I resolved this using setTimeout:

var i = 0;
function a() { b(); }
function b() {
  i++; 
  if (i < 30) {
    setTimeout( function() {
      a();
    }, 0);
  }
}

a();
