Script stack space exhausted firefox

Question

i am working with a large XMl response from a webservice. when i try to get that using a url, after sometimes it displaya an error in Firebug that "script stack space quota is exhausted" how can i solve that????

Answer 1

It sounds like there is some recursion going on when processing the xml, that is essentially causing a stack overflow (by any name).

Thoughts:

• work with less data
• if you are processing the data manually, try to use less recursion? perhaps manual tail-call or queue/stack based
• consider json - then you can offload to the script host to rehydrate the object without any extra processing

Answer 2

Have you tried disabling Firebug?

Answer 3

As of Firefox 3, the available stack space has dropped from 4MB to ~= 640KB (I'm passing on word of mouth here).

Do you happen to be running FF3?
