Sorry, my feature request was not well thought-out. By the time you let the template parse the HTML it's going to already need the widgets. Better to do what I think you're implying:
* Step 1: create the template with an HTML string or setHTML on an existing template * Step 2: create your widgets and add them both to an array and to the template. * ... * Step 3: RemoveAllChildren on the template * Step 4: setHTML on the template with the new HTML * Step 5: discover which widgets are still needed with getFieldNames * Step 6: Re-add those widgets that are needed, destroy the rest That seems water-tight as far as memory mgmt goes, right? --JYL > --- Jacob Levy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Is there a way to find out what named javascript >> objects a template will >> need? > > I think such a feature would be useful.
