Javascript stack erro

[bryanfl100]

Is there a way to stop the following javascript from giving a stack error? Also the onclick="bookNow('airlines.id%3D$data[airlines.id]') cannot change.

<script>
function bookNow(s) {
if ( s.match('Delta') ) {
bookNow(s);
} else {
alert('call us');
}
}
</script>

<a href="#" onclick="bookNow('airlines.id%3D$data[airlines.id]'); return false;">BOOK NOW</a>

of course you're getting a stack overflow... if the first condition is met, you're simply calling the same function again with the same input, which meets the first condition, ad infinitum

solution? do something different

try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); } finally { rtfm(); }
i like your sleeves...they're real big

Or just never pass anything that matches with 'Delta' in to the function

Check out the phrase "infinite recursion" in a search engine to see why you get this error.

I suspect you DON'T want to call the bookNow function in itself, but have a separate function you didn't show, or haven't written yet.
