Regardless of the language, recursion can *always* run into performance issues, depending upon the kind of data it is working with. Even so, recursion in javascript seems to perform reasonably well. Two examples from TiddlyTools: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#HTMLFormattingPlugin recursively walks the DOM tree to render wiki content within HTML text nodes http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#ShowObject recursively walks an arbitrary JS object to display all properties see section starting with: "if (typeof($1)!='undefined')" note: uses 'arguments.callee' for **anonymous recursion** enjoy, -e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
