====Hidden iframe====
A basic technique for dynamic web application is to use a hidden [[HTML element#Frames|iframe]] HTML element (an ''inline frame'', which allows a website to embed one HTML document inside another). This invisible iframe is sent as a [[Chunked transfer encoding|chunked]] block, which implicitly declares it as infinitely long (sometimes called "forever frame"). As events occur, the iframe is gradually filled with <code>script</code> tags, containing JavaScript to be executed in the browser. Because browsers render HTML pages incrementally, each <code>script</code> tag is executed as it is received. Some browsers require a specific minimum document size before parsing and execution is started, which can be obtained by initially sending 1–2 kB of padding spaces.<ref name="ajaxoreilly">{{cite book
