I have windows 2000 Professional (SP2) with IE 5.5.

There is a javscript code that causes "out of stack space" error. The code
does not include any recursion but does include iterations. In the first
part of the code a loop is executed and some strings are placed inside an
array.
In the second portion of code the string from the array (which is actually
xml) is retreived and some actions are done.
This second part (iteration) when executed with large array size say 100
(not so large afterall) causes the out of stack space.
Can any one shed some light on it.
I am using recursion as well in some OTHER CODE and that recursion works
just fine so y this error in the iterating code.
Regards
Faisal
