Browser JS Stack Limits
Safari had such a tiny stack at the time this was posted:
Novemberborn: Maximum Call Stack Size in Modern Day Browsers
I've tried it with a more recent version of Safari 3.0.4 and I found:
"Maximum call stack size: 500"
According to the test at http://tests.novemberborn.net/javascript/callstack-size.html .
That's better, but is it enough? I'm a little surprised that Firefox doesn't have the biggest stack of them all. Maybe size isn't everything.

Fantastic JS Dialog Boxes
Based on Prototype, but not script.aculo.us, this modal dialog box for JS is very good:

Prototype & script.aculo.us Book/PDF
When one day I commented that the script.aculo.us wiki was down yet again, the author of this book suggested that I buy it:
The Pragmatic Bookshelf | Prototype and script.aculo.us
The nice thing is that it is sold as a combination paper book and PDF file. No need to lug around a book if it's not convenient.

Scriptaculous Popups
Looking for some JS popups based upon Scriptaculous and Prototype, I looked at script.aculo.us first. Sadly, a lot of their information is in their wiki, which happened to be unavailable for some reason!
I turned to Google and I found:
DOM Popup Kit which makes its own links and requires popup contents to be defined ahead of time.
ModalBox looks better and it appears to do well called from a JS event attribute and can load dynamic content. It also handles static content well, either directly or by reference.
MOOdalBox is supposedly an altered version of ModalBox that looks pretty nice, too.
Intro to Scriptaculous Effects is not a real popup widget, but is a nice introduction to using the JS library.
There are probably others, but I think these are a good start.
