Thanks for the prompt reply MorningZ,
Apologies for the inaccurate description, the apparent leak is only
in IE6
I took your advice, created a simple table 10*200, based on the one on
the plugin page.
The only scripts on the page are:
jquery-1.3.1.js,
jquery.tablesorter.js, and the constructor:
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#myTable").tablesorter( {sortList: [[0,0], [1,0]]} );
}
);
On each refresh in IE6 the memory rises by 1,200k
If I reduce the table size to only one row, the memory still rises by
700k on each refresh.
the page html looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1250">
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./support/scripts/
jquery-1.3.1.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./support/scripts/
jquery.tablesorter.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#myTable").tablesorter( {sortList: [[0,0], [1,0]]} );
}
);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table id="myTable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
Last Name

<th>
First Name
</th>
<th>
Email

<th>
Due

<th>
Web Site

</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
I have tried using jquery's unbind on th elements to deallocate it,
also setting the $("#myTable").html('') to remove the dom elements,
but nothing seems to work.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks.
