It is being created in-memory, but does not persist in the document. Thus the object's memory will be deallocated (freed) when it goes out of scope, i.e. the function ends - though that might depend on the respective JavaScript engine's garbage collection. (I'm not an expert on such low-level details.) Note that jQuery's chaining can work a little different, depending on which method is invoked. -- F. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
