Stack Overflow message. Where do I start to try and solve this? I don't
even know exactly what it means. Please help me I'm lost. Thanx a mil L.

Are you using a function that calls itself, i.e. a recursive function?
You need to make sure that there is some condition where recursive
calling is stopped otherwise you get a stack overflow.

There are various resources available to you.

1) A good JS debugger, as might be found in the browser,
or installed as a plug-in.

2) The JS FAQ. Even if it does not contain the exact answer
to your questiom, it will give you a lot of tips on JS, debugging
and getting answers in this group. <http://www.jibbering.com/faq>

3) Supply an URL*. The gurus of this group can fix code
they can see, faster than a rat can climb a drain-pipe.
* Trim the unneccessary stuff out, and validate the HTML first.

BTW - it sounds like you might have an infinite loop.
