To complete the cycle (after a close) you can also dispose a window, if
you are really sure, that you don't need it anymore. The problem in this
case is, that JS itself has no possibilities to do a real garbage
collection. The only thing the qooxdoo disposer do, is to decouple
objects and html nodes from each other to allow the (buggy) garbage
collector to do its work (generally after leaving the page). So if you
open many QxWindows and dispose them (like for simple confirm dialogs)
it would be probably the best the reuse them. Otherwise the memory used
by the browser will grow and grow until you leave the page or there is
another event which starts the garbage collector.
I'm sorry but I have been using jsp for page layout and dont have a lot of
knowledge of how the modern browsers handle memory allocation.
It sounds like what you are saying is you can not create a large application
using only one page because the system would never release the memory. Is that
correct?
You can build large applications. But they will consume large memory.
That's true. It will not slow down through the more memory usage (IE
will be slower to make arrays/hashes larger for example, so more
QxWidgets probably make it slower).
Is the garbage collection a function of the browser? Do we have any idea when it
runs?
The garbage collection handling is somewhere deep inside the browser.
You have no access from javascript to control this. We know that the
garbage collector will do it's job if you leave the page or even more
(especially true for IE) when you minimize the browser window.
