Pattern for recursive, "one-off" functions (especially useful for DOM traversal, when not using frameworks, or other similar throw-away recursive front-end tasks).

anonymousRecusivePattern.js

(function _this (/* your param list here */) {
    /// INIT CODE HERE ///
    if (/* your condition here */) {
        _this(/* your passed params here */);
    }
})(/* initial passed params here */);
