I was surprised to learn that foreach in JavaScript does not have a traditional break. The loop will run to completion.

Who knew that combination sums across all permutation lengths of an array would be so difficult? It was a challenge but the final product looks good and takes a lot of resources. Limiting the max length for basic memory limits. Would only do something like this for occasional reporting.

Chrome Forms Slow

Working on a new project that can have hundreds of forms on a page. The browser was spending way too much time in Parse HTML. Wasted a bunch of time before learning this is a long-standing bug in Chrome when there are many forms or inputs. Other browsers are fine.
