Do (and If Not Should) Browsers Let A Script Know How Much Memory They Are Consuming?

I was thinking about doing a dynamic scrolling table. As the user scrolls down ajax loads in more rows to show. With the table I'm working on having the client load the whole thing would result in a page well north of 2 GB, so it isn't feasable.I will probably end up putting some logical limits - hold say 100 rows total with 20 or so visible.

First the code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function TextScroll(scrollname, div_name, up_name, down_name, top_name){
[Code]...
When I use mouse wheel in Firefox to scroll contents of the DIV, memory usage in Firefox goes through the roof. Code above is a fully working page, if anyone would like to see what's up, just load it up, and start moving your mouse wheel in the area with text. You don't actually have to scroll the text, just moving the wheel back and forth in that DIV will do. Memory usage will start going up quite fast, and after you stop moving the wheel, it will finally come down a bit after a short while. I've highlighted in red the line where mousewheel event is registered for Firefox. I'm not sure if it's really a problem, but since Opera and IE don't have any strange memory usage, and Firefox does, maybe I did something wrong. In everyday use it shouldn't matter [don't expect to have kilometers of content to scroll], but anyway, it is a bit unsettling.

I've been putting together a small pet project. Once it was finished i realised it had a gigantic memory leak inside of it. I tried to read up on the subject, but couldn't find the source of the problem via the articals.
This site is very simple, so I'd think idenifying (and hopefully fixing) the problem would be easy. Here is the relavent portions of JS (followed by links to the full page incase you need to see that): Code:

I was wondering how good is JavaScript with memory management. I have
an object called MANAGER that has a list of other objects, each one
managing a single DOM nodes, etc. In my implementation of
MANAGER.reset(), I simply recreate my MANAGER.object_list = new
object(); and do a single MANAGER.domnode.innerHTML = '' as apposed to
getting my hands dirty. Is my app leaking memory?

Internet Explorer leaks memory when I update a div container using
innerHTML, this does not occur in firefox. This would not be a problem
except the webpage is required to be left on for weeks on end without
being restarted. I presume the issue with innerHTML is that Internet
Explorer apparently parses what you give it and then decides on how to
construct the dom elements itself, so never truely creates what you
give it.
I know that the innerHTML is the problem as I have successfully
narrowed down the leak to that line. It only leaks memory when I assign
content to the innerHTML of my containing DIV. Appending a text node,
for example, with the exact same information to the same div does not
leak. Note I have also tried using such existing AJAX packages like
Prototype etc. but to no avail.
I need to do it this way as my XML documents are styled using an XSL
stylesheet and then transformed using transformNode [I will omit
details regarding firefox as there is no problem there]. I have looked
into transformNodeToObject as a way to get a dom object that I
originally assumed could be appended [as a child] to my containing
element. This did not work and gave me compatibility errors.
I suppose I am either looking for someone who has solved this problem,
or who has an acceptable work around. Or someone to say that it cannot
be solved.

I am developing a simple image editor in an HTA (for a special use-case). Because it is an HTA, it runs in IE only (IE7 to be precise).
Everything is working great so far, however, because I am loading the same img src file over after every edit, I had to attach " + Math.random();" to the image src so that the updated image is displayed.
This has lead to some pretty severe memory issues, as each time I make an edit, it caches another image. Under normal operation, my app uses under 20MB with a single image loaded, however after every edit it adds about 3MB. After a few minutes of testing I have had it consuming over 200MB!
Is there another way to use the same file name, same image src, etc, but have the browser re-read the file before displaying it again rather than using a cached copy.
Alternately, is there a way to make the browser forget about the other copies it has in memory to keep memory usage under control.

I'm writing a very complex javascript application and I'd like memory usage to be as low as possible, so I've got a question about objects.
I'm using jQuery and my code is a bunch of jQuery plugins that interact with eachother. Will there be a difference in memory usage if I declare functions like this:
I haven't written anything in javascript as complex as I'm about to write, so I never worked with objects. As far as I understand, $.fn.whatever will add function to prototype, while $.whatever will add function only to one entry of jQuery object.
So question comes down to this: when jQuery object is being created, are functions in it being copied (meaning increase in memory usage) or does javascript only make references (meaning no significant increase in memory usage) to one main entry of that function in prototype?

However the problem is that once the tabs/iframes are removed the browser does not release the memory. This happens both in IE8 and FireFox. So over a period of time the memory consumed by the browsers are huge because of the creation and deletion of new tabs/iframes and the application slows down. Is there a way to make the browser release memory when an iframe is removed.

Do the latest browsers still need this? I could find an article about IE8 which states that its garbage collection has improved so circular references shouldn't be a big problem any more.Reason for asking is that I maintain an JavaScript / AJAX framework and we are currently optimizing our code which contains a lot of code to remove references from and to the DOM and to remove event listeners.

I am a little confused how the memory for objects is allocated in
JavaScript. David Flanagan, in "javascript: The Definitive Guide,"
states that each property of a class takes up memory space when
instantiated. So space is created for aMethod three times in this

I'm designing a page to fade multiple images (three) in and out over a set period of time (one minute, say). The code I have works as follows:
I define an array and fill it with the div objects I want to fade in and out. I have some simple tags (2 for opaque, 1 for fading in, -1 for fading out, etc.) that I set to show the state of the object.
First I check if the object is opaque, and if so set it to fade along with a time;
Or if it's transparent I give it a 1 in 10 chance of fading in during this iteration. If it's currently fading in or out I check to make sure it's on track and change the opacity of the div accordingly.
Originally, I had the function call back to itself using setTimeout after the loop had gone through all the divs and changed their opacities appropriately. This caused an out of memory error (though, strangely, if I had any alerts in the function it didn't give me the error).
So the version below has the code in a while loop to let it run for 20 seconds - this gives me the "a script...run slowly, do you want to continue the script?" message.
So I have several questions:
1) First and foremost, why is my function causing out of memory/run slowly errors and what is the best way to fix that?
2) Is there a better way to code this effect (final result will be six lights fading in and out for a minute or so).
3)I'm not an experienced programmer, so any bad practices, ways to streamline, no no's, etc. that you see, please point out.
I've only posted the script here - the page simple consists of three divs (id's grad0, grad1, grad2) and a call to the function copied here.

I have a really long application so i'm trying to minimiza cpu/memory usage,with each function, therefore I have a few simple questions.
1. on elements added after the page has been loaded,is there a difference between putting "onclick" inside the element tag or using jquery's delegate like the following example?
$("#mainchatwindow").delegate('img[func="gift"]','click' function....
2. does it make a big difference selecting an element with a full path like (#body #contentdiv #userstbl td.example)or just typing (.example) ?
3. I have 2 arrays of objects, both objects has an id attribute, one of then objects are the images on the page, the second one is an ajax result with updated images.will it be better to first loop threw both objects just to create new arrays with just the id's instead of looping the threw those big objects? like this:
Code:
if (data.online)
var online_length = data.online.length;
else[code]..........

I have a question regarding how to prevent memory leaks in Internet
Explorer when using closures. I already knew about the circular
reference problem, and until now was able to prevent memory leak
problems. But I needed to store DOM elements and can't solve it
anymore. So I search the group archive to see if I missed any
valuable information. I found some interesting articles, but somehow
could not apply it to my problem or I did not understand it fully.
In particular the articles that talked about setting variables to
NULL seemed as an easy solution, but I think I didn't understand it,
because it didn't seem to work.
So, let me explain my problem in more detail. I am working on some
very dynamic and complex page. It uses AJAX (XMLHttpRequest) to alter
different parts of the page. This already disqualifies the finalize
method solution to cleanup memory leak problems. I use several
"component classes" to do the work of creating DOM elements in some
container element and provide an easy to use interface for
manipulation the content. For example I can call
component.setBackgroundColor("red")
and the component takes care of changing the style on the correct
DOM element that is encapsulated in the component. In reality the
component uses more complex interface method, but I hope you
get the picture of why I do this.
Let me show you some example code:
function MyComponent()
{
var div;
var handler = null;
this.generate = function generate()
{
div = document.createElement("div");
div.onclick = MyComponent.createClickHandler(this);
// normally more elements are created here
return div;
}
this.setBackgroundColor = function setBackgroundColor(value)
{
div.style.backgroundColor = value;
}
this.getHandler = function getHandler()
{
return handler;
}
this.setHandler = function setHandler(value)
{
handler = value;
}
}
MyComponent.createClickHandler = function createClickHandler(component)
{
return function(event)
{
var handler = component.getHandler();
if (handler != null)
handler(event);
}
}
This "component class" can be used like this:
var container = document.getElementById("container");
var component = new MyComponent();
container.appendChild(component.generate());
....
component.setBackgroundColor("red");
component.setHandler(function(event) {alert("Stop touching me!")});
The problem, of course, is that this code will create a memory leak
in Internet Explorer. I need the component in the event handler to
get the handler dynamically, but the div is stored there too,
creating a circular reference.
One of the things I tried doing is making a DOMStorage "class" like
this:
function DOMStorage()
{
var map = new Object();
this.get = function get(id)
{
return map[id];
}
this.put = function put(id, obj)
{
map[id] = obj;
}
}
var storage = new DOMStorage(); //global
Instead of storing the div element directly in the component, I store
it under an id in the DOMStorage and use it to retrieve it later.
This actually prevented the memory leak. I don't really understand
why, because I still see a circular reference. Maybe Internet
Explorer does not count references in the global scope as a circular
reference? When I move the global storage to inside the container
object I get the memory leak again.
Unfortunately I am unable to use a global DOMStorage, because the
"component class" in instantiated many times, and they must all have
their seperate DOM elements.
Perhaps I have to generate unique ID's when I put a DOM element into
the global storage? It seems so over-the-top for something that works
perfectly fine in Firefox.
What are my alternatives?
