Question

Do you know what may cause memory leaks in JavaScript? I am interested in browsers: IE 7, FireFox 3, Safari 3

Answer 1

There is a nice article about JavaScript and memory leaks. It does not specific about on browser, it rather describes the whole problematic of memory leaks and JavaScript.

• JavaScript and memory leaks
• Introducing the closure
• More leakage patterns
• Conclusion

I think it is a better approach to be as browser unspecific as possible insted of optimizing for a few browsers, when developing a website for the public.
