You are creating a global function scroll. Global variables and functions are considered members of the window object. Thus you are creating a method window.scroll, which calls itself, forever. JavaScript engines normally have a max limit in the number of recursions or the time recursive execution may take.

and even if they didn't have that which is very annoying, ur function is one of those wonderfull ethernal loops :). no end only a beginning

why does it loop, i never told it to loop, :confused:
all it is supposed to do is scroll down 60px :(

just like here (http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_scrolldown)

[liorean]

That page uses two functions, scrolldown and scroll. You, on the other hand, use a single function scroll, which calls itself. Change the name of the function to something else, and it should work ok.
