> My problem is that it says I am getting too much recursion.
First, you might save yourself a lot of work by trying this:

In any case, here's what's wrong with the code you posted:
* the recursion occurs because you are forcing a refresh of the
tiddler *during* the rendering of the macro. When the tiddler is
refreshed, it re-renders the macro, which forces a refresh, that re-
renders the macro, which forces a refresh, that re-renders the macro,
which forces a refresh, ... etc.
* The macro handler creates a new DIV element each time it is
invoked. This is the right thing to do when the macro is being first
rendered into the tiddler content. But then, you use a timer to
automatically re-invoke the handler again every 1000ms.
Unfortunately, this means that (if it works at all), you are going to
wind up adding another DIV each time the handler is triggered, rather
than simply updating the DIV that was first created when the macro was
initially rendered.
A more correct general approach is to use the macro handler to
*create* the DIV and save the list of params, and then invoke a
separate 'tick()' function that is responsible for updating the
display, like this:
--------------------
config.macros.fader.handler=function
(place,macroName,params,wikifier,paramstring,tiddler) {
this.section=createTiddlyElement(place,"div");
this.params=params;
this.displaynumber=0;
this.tick();
}
config.macros.fader.tick=function() {
this.section.innerHTML = this.params[this.displaynumber++];
if (this.displaynumber>this.params.length-1) this.displaynumber=0;
setTimeout("config.macros.fader.tick()",1000);
}
--------------------

P.S. Although your question topic is not actually about TiddlyWiki
*core* development, it's somewhat overly technical for the general
TiddlyWiki community discussion. In order to avoid confusing people
too much, it might be better to continue this thread (if needed) in
the TiddlyWikiDev GoogleGroup.
