Answer 1

Ironic, isn't it? ;)

On topic, IE has a lower call stack threshold than other browsers. For example, on Firefox, you can call 3000 functions deep before a stack overflow.

Check to see if your code is doing too much, and if you can split up into mini-tasks.

Answer 2

I think it's a prototype error. you have to change some lines of code in your prototype.js as explain here
