Web Experiments: Recursive <iframe>

Test your browser!

This page is a demonstration of how NOT to use the <iframe> tag.

Normally, this tag is used by developers to embed websites within other websites.  On this portfolio site for instance, I use them to embed Desmos graphs on the Desmos project pages.  That way, you can interact with the graphs without leaving the page.

But what if you embedded a website within itself?  Well, you'd get exactly what you're seeing above.

Better leave this page before your browser crashes... there is not a cap on the recursion!
