BUG in IE6? "Stack overflow at line:0" message appeares
Hi there,
I cannot found newsgroup for HTCs (HTML Controls), so the question goes
here. I developed some HTC and I’m trying to use them.
My question totally refers to the client side, and especially Internet
Explorer. (My MS IE version is 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519)
The developed HTML controls fire events according to their internal state. I
wrote the event handler functions for them in the HTML page. They runs and
works faultlessly, but when the execution flows back to the script starter
event attribute (to the point I signed an X: <div …
onclick=”dosomething()X”>…</div>) a message box appears with the text “Stack
overflow at line:0”. I tried to catch it by to following: <div …
onclick=”try{ dosomething()}catch(e){alert(e);}X”>…</div> but the error
doesn’t originate from my dosomesing() function or its called functions, but
from the X point again. (Of course the “X” isn’t written to the
executable/viewable HTML page.)
Well, I examined the problem deeper. The fineness is that the message box
doesn’t appear every time, just when one HTML control fires an event, a
function on the page handles and do something when an other HTML control
fires an other event handled by other function. This time the greatest number
of the contents of the call stack is 22 (and no real stack overflow
exception). In addition my code is running, no error meanwhile and my data
are valid and everything is OK, but at the end that ugly message box shown.
When there is no such situation, when a handler function of a HTC event
causes other event in one other HTC, the message box doesn’t appear, even if
there is bigger call stack.
Please, do not write me to use Windows Forms, because my customer would like
officeless solutions.
Thanks,
