Maximum call stack size exceeded error

In my case, I was sending input elements instead of their values:

$.post( '',{ registerName: $('#registerName') } )

Instead of:

$.post( '',{ registerName: $('#registerName').val() } )

This froze my Chrome tab to a point it didn't even show me the 'Wait/Kill' dialog for when the page became unresponsive...

In my case, click event was propagating on child element. So, I had to put the following:

e.stopPropagation()

on click event:

$(document).on("click", ".remove-discount-button", function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
//some code
});
$(document).on("click", ".current-code", function () {
$('.remove-discount-button').trigger("click");
});
Here is the html code:

<div class="current-code">
<input type="submit" name="removediscountcouponcode" value="
title="Remove" class="remove-discount-button">
</div>

There is a recursive loop somewhere in your code (i.e. a function that eventually calls itself again and again until the stack is full).

Other browsers either have bigger stacks (so you get a timeout instead) or they swallow the error for some reason (maybe a badly placed try-catch).

Use the debugger to check the call stack when the error happens.

You can sometimes get this if you accidentally import/embed the same JavaScript file twice, worth checking in your resources tab of the inspector.
