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 I look at it in Internet Explorer   The problem is quite clearly not in line 0  but somewhere in the list of stuff that I m writing to the document  Everything works fine in Firefox  so I don t have the delights of Firebug and friends to assist in troubleshooting   Are there any standard causes for this  I m guessing this is probably an Internet Explorer 7 bug or something quite obscure  and my Google-fu is bringing me little joy currently  I can find lots of people who have run into this before  but I can t seem to find how they solved it

I ran into this problem recently and wrote up a post about the particular case in our code that was causing this problem   http   cappuccino org discuss 2010 03 01 internet-explorer-global-variables-and-stack-overflows   The quick summary is  recursion that passes through the host global object is limited to a stack depth of 13  In other words  if the reference your function call is using  not necessarily the function itself  was defined with some form window foo   function  then recursing through foo is limited to a depth of 13

I have reproduced the same error on IE8  One of the text boxes has some event handlers to replace not valid data       numbersonly   on  keyup input propertychange   function            code       The error message was shown on entering data to this text box  We removed event  propertychange  from the code above and now it works correctly   P S  maybe it will help somebody

You can turn off the  Disable Script Debugging  option inside of Internet Explorer and start debugging with Visual Studio if you happen to have that around   I ve found that it is one of few ways to diagnose some of those IE specific issues

Aha   I had an OnError   event in some code that was setting the image source to a default image path if it wasn t found  Of course  if the default image path wasn t found it would trigger the error handler     For people who have a similar problem but not the same  I guess the cause of this is most likely to be either an unterminated loop  an event handler that triggers itself or something similar that throws the JavaScript engine into a spin
