On Safari and Firefox

<input id=button type="checkbox"
onclick="document.getElementById('console').innerHTML = ++counter;
this.click()">
<div id=console></div>
<script>
window.counter = 0;
document.getElementById('button').click();
</script>

prints "1". Clicking on the button increases the value by 2. IE6 prints "1" and
user clicks increase the value by 1. It seems like IE is preventing click
recursion completely while Safari and Firefox allow it from user event only.

Acid3 is asking either some 10 upper bound for breaking the recursion or
relying on slow script warning. Latter turns simple mistakes into
catastrophical user visible errors while former is rather arbitrary.
