change for(i=0;i<b.value;i++) { to for(var i=0;i<b.value;i++) { javascript is treating "i" as a global var so when you call itself, global "i" gets changed which will bugger up your loop - I've done this soooo many times and spent toooo many hours trying to debug, just to find I forgot to declare a var as local!!
