How efficient are IFrames? <p>If I built a page that consisted of IFrames on the order of hundreds, would this be incredibly slow, or would it behave similar to having a hundred divs?</p> <p>The reason I ask is I'm looking for a nice recursive way to build a web page, where I can load sub-elements of a page as if they were complete pages of their own, with their own urls.</p> <p>Thoughts? Opinions? Am I totally crazy to even be thinking it?</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I just realized this would probably absolutely shred the network connection because it would have to make separate requests for each embedded frame, wouldn't it? And everything I've learned on making web pages more efficient to load is to reduce the number of http requests it needs to make.</p>
