Good point. I was looking in too deep and did not see the obvious.

However, my question still stands, in javascript (jquery) is there a way to free memory?

Yes you are right; no browser is perfect, but some are more perfect than others :P

I wouldn't necessarily blame your script for the memory usage - FF3 takes up 250Mb regularly for me with a couple open tabs. Maybe you just now noticed it.

And if you are just updating the same DOM element with new content all the time, there shouldn't be any reason for a memory leak (or anything that you could free up using javascript anyway).

Hi there, I seem to be running into the same problem but my asp isn't loading. It's fired by an onchange event from another select list and works for FF and Chrome but not with IE7. I tried appending the random variable and I've also tried issuing a "no-cache" using asp. The page will load fine if I remove the onchange event so I'm sure theres no asp errors. Oh and firebug isn't reporting any errors.

Any ideas...think I'm Googled out.

TIA

@jaoudestudios Firebug enabled? If so, try to disable it and check again. I usually have to restart FF several times a day, because it takes more than 1gb. No such problem if Firebug is disabled :?

I believe there are problems with reallocating memory after ajax requests, since for websites, which didn't used ajax there were no such problems.
Hm... will try to reproduce it.
