jQuery.UI and a few other plugins require a 'teardown' callback by
hacking removeData, remove, html, empty, etc.
In 1.4, it would be very easy to hack in teardown if cleanData was
exposed. So something like:
var cd = jQuery.cleanData
jQuery.cleanData = function(elems){
//check elems
for(var i =0; i < elems.length; i++){
var plugins = jQuery.data(elems[i],"plugins")|| {}
for(cname in plugins)
if(typeof plugins[cname].teardown ==
"function") plugins[cname].teardown();
}
cd.apply(this, arguments)
}
would work.
This is extremely easy way to add teardown as everything that might
remove an element calls this method.
If this is something you might accept in 1.4, please let me know and I
will submit a patch. It's really as easy as a find-replace, but I
want to make sure that jQuery.cleanData is an appropriate place for
the function.
Thanks.
