> Just tested it, and this doesn't seem to fix the problem either :( Assuming that this code is inside a function, it could never fix a leak, but it could create one. The delete operator doesn't work on a local variable. It leaves the variable unchanged and returns false. So this delete can't help. But the "var orphan =" could cause a leak if this function invocation is kept around because of a closure. If you do want to remove a reference in a local variable, set it to null or undefined: var orphan = this.parentNode.removeChild(this); // do something with orphan here? orphan = null; But if you're not using that "orphan" variable for anything, that code is equivalent to not having the variable at all: this.parentNode.removeChild(this); -Mike --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
