Nice but, anonymous recursion is possible with arguments.callee.

  arguments.callee is deprecated in javascript 1.4. Use function name instead, so interpreter will have chance to perform tail recursion. Give names to your anonymous functions anyway: it will be much easier to trace them. Example of anonymous recursive function with arguments.callee: var factorial=function(n) { return (!(n>1))? 1 : arguments.callee(n-1)*n; } Example of anonymous recursive function without arguments.callee: var factorial=function factorial(n) { return (!(n>1))? 1 : factorial(n-1)*n; }
