Had a nasty memory leak that was seriously slowing down the browser and
eating up a couple megabytes every reload. I was using:
$$('.dyntable').each(function(elm) { new DynTable(elm) });
To set up my behavior, but discovered that just running:
$$('.dyntable');
Caused the memory leak all by itself.
The fix I found for it was to change Element.extend to a noop.
Element.extend = function(element) {
return element;
}
Apparently IE has that leak where it can't recognize these enhanced DOM
elements as ready for garbage collection because of this enhancement.
FYI: this was on latest IE 6 on WinXP.
