Mike,
Would you mind elaborating on this.... ?
"Well, not exactly, but it does put the onus on you as the user to clean
up your cache before page unload."
What should I do to clean up the cache before page unload? I use BlockUI
for a bunch of things, so am curious.
Thanks,
Jack

Yeah, I should refactor it to behave that way; that makes good sense.
Sorry for the frustration!
Does the example create a memory leak pattern via the circular
reference? I haven't checked it with drip, but it looks to me like a
leak scenario.

considered that.
@seedy: Your technique solves the "must cache" problem but you end up
accumulating a lot of noise in the DOM because the blocking elements
are never removed (but they're created every time).
