What an iframe does is produce a window inside your browser that opens a web page in that window.

Fortunately, I'm not your computer, and don't fall for the same trap.

In short, the iframe refers to itself, and your computer dilligently follows the circle to the limit of it's resources. Hence, it's called a circular reference.

Sorry about that.

Hmm, Krsqk seems to be offline; should I take the next post?

"Let me guess - you tried a circular reference with iframes."

Yup. Handled it better than I was expecting, actually. It works fine if you navigate to the same page after it loads, just not as the default page.

Pheonix-D:
Yeah; if you set it as the default, it automatically loads the same page again and again. While the Cache allows it to avoid clogging the network so much, it tries to keep an infinite number of copies of a page in memory at once. It can't do that, but it tries, filling up a huge chunk of memory, which would cause the quirky behavior. If it isn't circular by default, and you just navigate back to it, the iframe only tries to hold a limited quantity of them: The main, the one you navigated to, and the one the inner iframe is set for. You could theoretically navigate manually to overload the system when the iframe isn't in the default page, but you would need to do a lot of navigation by hand to make it happen.

Hmm, Narf and Krsqk seem to be offline at the moment, so I suppose I'll have Jack get up.

Back to the original mage's cave? I'm starting to wish that Jack had been more places. Arthur's mountain and John's workroom will never be the same again.

You're right - missed that. For that matter, Narp never got his armor cleaned out from the first time. Grr. Let's see....

.... clipped the party-moving portion out.
