Chrome/jQuery Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

As "there are tens of thousands of cells in the page" binding the click-event to every single cell will cause a terrible performance problem. There's a better way to do this, that is binding a click event to the body & then finding out if the cell element was the target of the click. Like this:

$('body').click(function(e){
       var Elem = e.target;
       if (Elem.nodeName=='td'){
           //.... your business goes here....
           // remember to replace $(this) with $(Elem)
       }
})

This method will not only do your task with native "td" tag but also with later appended "td". I think you'll be interested in this article about event binding & delegate

Or you can simply use the ".on()" method of jQuery with the same effect:

$('body').on('click', 'td', function(){
        ...
});

You can also get this error when you have an infinite loop. Make sure that you don't have any unending, recursive self references.

Mine was more of a mistake, what happened was loop click(i guess) basically by clicking on the login the parent was also clicked which ended up causing Maximum call stack size exceeded.

$('.clickhere').click(function(){
   $('.login').click();
});

<li class="clickhere">
  <a href="#" class="login">login</a>
</li>
