No it's something you would have to write. Protoype's unloadCache()
happens on page unload... we're talking here about a single control
being updated (not the whole page).  So in a long-running AJAX
application, the page itself may never get refreshed, there prototype
would never call unloadCache(). This cleanup stuff really needs to be at
an atomic per control level to support designing a scalable AJAX
application.

I've even gone as far as to create a garbage collector to handle this
cleanup on a background process.

Ryan,

Not related to this post, but you bring up a good point here.

The dispose() method that you are talking about, is this something
available in prototype or do we need to write it?

Is it similar to unloadCache()?
Doesn't prototype do the cleanups on every subsequent load?

Please let me know.

Thank you,
Mandy.
