I think the IE team is aware. But it seems that the problem is by
design and without a change to the underlying structure, all they can
do is hacking the garbage collector in order to lower the damages. The
jscript fix does just that :

As they say, they improved the garbage collector but as Mr Crockford
pointed out here :

http://javascript.crockford.com/memory/leak.html

The underlying structure causes this by design.

Last time I checked, the fix allows to get back the memory on page
unload. (I could be wrong) Anyway I don't see this as a solution
because it won't help on an ajax application that does no page
refresh.

Maybe some IE Team guys are reading this list and could give us an
insight about this ?


I would like to see someone with strong knowledge about memory leaks
writing best practice jquery coding in order to avoid memory leaks.
I'm about to create a new project that will be quite big and there
will never be a page refresh. All content will be generated with a
client side templating system.
My tests so far pointed me that it will be a real challenge because of
memory leaks (a challenge for me because I've no knowledge about
memory leaks and I don't want to)

I also thougt about a workaround :

if ($.browser.msie) {
   document.location = "http://www.ldlc.be/fiche/PB00067679.html";;
}
