Bunked up the Roman Numeral Test, infinite loop help

JavaScript
1

I think I crashed the page for my Roman Numeral converter project. I attempted recursion and created an infinite loop causing stack overflow, browser crash, etc.

Working on this course: javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures-v8. Right now, I’m not able to actually click on the Script.js file in on the page, in order to edit that code. It’s just frozen.

I have tried the following to fix it: cleared all local storage data in Chrome (cache, site settings, etc) , waited a long time ( a few hours), switched from Chrome to Firefox.

Please help. Thanks.

PS: I still don’t understand recursion, and now I’m just afraid of it.
