[Prototype-core] RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

[Doctuh]

This note is mostly to help other people searching for answers.

I was doing some prototypish calling on a small two dimensional array
(10 x 5).

rows.each(function(row){ row.each(function(cell){ /* do stuff
*/ }) });

Fine in IE fine in FF. Fails silently on webkit based browsers
(Chrome, Safari). I tried repeating the process in the Chrome console
and received the error:

RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

After unfolding the loops to standard for statements everything worked
just fine.

Credit to tfluehr on IRC #prototype for helping me out with this one
and for this link:

It goes into some details on the call stacks for current browsers.

No I take that back, I think identity is susceptible to the same
problem.

Something I forgot to add: using the .identify() method on the form
avoids this problem entirely.

 My first post. This is to document a tricky thing I found while using
 Element.readAttribute() on a form. This post is to help the next
 person looking for an answer on it.

 ex:

 form id=foo
  input type=hidden name=id' value=bar /
 /form

 If you have a form with a hidden form element named 'id', and you try
 to use readAttribute() on the form you will get two different
 responses:

 IE gives you an Object (the input object named 'id')
 Firefox gives you 'foo'.

 IE will give you 'foo' is there is not a overriding form element.

 I did not expect this, thinking that readAttribute would be
 normalizing these behaviors, but IE sigh.
 This tied me up for a little while.  Thanks to jdalton and tobie on
 FreeNode for the help.
