> Yes, it solves the IE closure problem very nicely. My closure > plugin for jQuery uses a modified version of this code. Yipes! I just did a quick test with IE6 and SVN 170. With nothing other than the jQuery.js include and an empty body, it's leaking about 300KB for each reload measured by Task Manager. FF doesn't leak at all. Can anyone else repro that? I think we discussed this topic a few months back, IE will leak memory if any DOM elements have references to Javascript objects when the page unloads. The jQuery event code adds a level of indirection to take care of closures inside user-supplied event handlers, but it doesn't seem to remove its own event handler or the Javascript objects it's attached to the DOM object. That can be done with an onunload handler.
