JS hangs on a do while loop

Question

I am wondering how I can solve a hanging page with JS.

I have a JS loop which I\'m testing like this, but it seems to hang forever - is there a way to stop it hangin

Answer 1

You are concatenating 10,000,000 consecutive numbers together into a string, which really will not work well on any modern supercomputer.

If you'd like to poll the progress, setup a timer to do it somewhat slower. It isn't practical, but it looks nice: http://jsfiddle.net/V6jjT/2/

HTML:

Script:

var value = 0;
var interval = setInterval(function() {
    if (value > 100) {
        clearInterval(interval);
        return;
    }

    value++;
    document.getElementById('my_data').innerHTML += ' ' + value;
}, 10);
