JQuery :: Memory Leaks With Ajax Calls?
Oct 27, 2010
I have a jquery based system with ajax calls instead of page refreshes. Every time I return some ajax content, it replaces the content on the main div.
function execcmdcallback(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest)
{
$("#divmain").html(data);
data = null;
}
Each time this executes, the browser memory increases by about 600-900kb. Can anyone suggest a way of doing this where the old memory is freed so there is no significant increase in browser memory on each ajax call ?
I've studied this a bit, [URL]..., but I have to admit I don't quite understand it I see the same issue on IE8, FF and Chrome. FF comsumes less memory per ajax call and frees some memory seconds later, but still the total working set is increasing on each call by 300k in FF and 600 to 900 in chrome and IE

I have the AJAX-script. It eats memory about 4Kb per one callback.
Script reflects messages from server application in real-time. I form
messages, and put them into the iframe. If mesages more than 40 last
message delete. Can you check the script and say about my mistakes? Code:

I've been searching the web for a while now, and I haven't come across a conclusive solution for memory leaks due to replacing nodes with frequent AJAX updates. I wrote a class that pulls an RSS feed frequently (e.g. every 5 seconds) and updates an HTML element with new information. In the process, it removes the old nodes and replaces them with new ones. It works fine visually. The only problem is that it has terrible memory leak complications; when I put the script on to run, it increases the memory usage by about 1MB every few seconds at an accelerated 1000-ms delay between updates!
(That's 100MB every few minutes!) I discovered this when I let the script run for a few hours straight, not thinking anything of it, and when I returned to my computer, it was frozen up Opera seems to be the worst at its memory management on this script, Safari and Chrome are in the middle, and Firefox seems to handle it the best, but nonetheless there are memory leaks in all four. (I haven't tested IE yet, but based on what I read, I would expect that it might even be worse than Opera!)

I have a table, 10 cols, 200 rows. Using tablesorter causes a memory leak on every page refresh of almost 2mB. A smaller table causes a proportionately smaller memory leak. Is there way to clear this memory? I've tried setting inner html of the table to '', but it makes no difference. Is there even a universal method i can call to remove any trace of any jquery plugin I have on the page?

What is the best way to prevent memory leaks in IE6 and IE7?
I'm working on an internal web app that just gets slower and slower, using more and more CPU load and memory, unless and until you close the browser and start, again.

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?

I'm working on an Ajax library that I plan to use on several upcoming
projects. Everything seems to work just great...
Now I want to get into the finer aspects of checking things... How
much memory am I using, are my objects making themselves available for
garbage collection adequately, etc.
Are there tools you can recommend (especially for IE and Firefox) that
I can use to get this information?

I'm building a JavaScript-based calendar for a client that will require me to replace the page's HTML based on the user's input. For example, if the user clicks on a particular date, then the month/week calendar will be replaced with the day calendar. Needless to say, there are several event listeners involved. However, if I suddenly swap out the month calendar for a day calendar, does that mean that there are several event listeners in memory for elements that no longer exist? Or are those listeners destroyed when the elements are destroyed? Basically my question is, every time I swap out the HTML, do I have to detach all of the old events too?

Attached is a sample html file (named jqmleak.html - rename it to remove the txt extension and drop it into your web server to test for yourself) that I've put together to demonstrate a memory leak with the $.ajax function in jQuery 1.6.1 when run in Firefox 4.0.1. The file loads jQuery 1.6.1 from the Google API CDN. Next, a simple function is defined that runs $.ajax to request the html file itself. This function is then set to run once every second using setInterval.
In Firefox 4.0.1, on both Win XP and Linux (ubuntu 10.10, 64-bit), I can watch the amount of memory consumed by Firefox gradually rise. It takes a few minutes for the problem to be observed, because initially the memory will decrease with no other activity in the browser. Then after about 5 minutes or so, I can watch the memory used by Firefox slowly but steadily increase. I can use the handy 'about:memory' tool in Chrome to monitor this alongside other browsers. Chrome, Opera, and IE do not exhibit the same problem with this test. Their memory usage will vary within a range of about 2 or 3 mb, but over a long period of time they do not increase their total amount of memory used. This problem is only happening in Firefox 4.0.1 as far as I can tell (I also used safe mode in Firefox to make sure no plugins were interfering with the test). I have tried both GET and POST methods with the $.ajax call, and with the cache setting both enabled and disabled. The result is the same.
Is this a jQuery problem, or maybe instead a bug with Firefox? I see similar bugs reporting memory leaks in other situations, but usually specific to IE. I was about to report a bug for this, but I thought I'd check here first to see if anyone can duplicate this problem, and/or point out what I should do to prevent the memory leak in Firefox.

I'm trying to use the jqmodal dialog plugin and everything is working OK except for one minor problem. It seems when I click on the link, the expected action does not occur until I click the second time. Essentially I set up a small test form with a single line put into a table. In that data line is an href, which when clicked calls an AJAX function and returns text, which displays as a dialog. Like I said, this works fine except for the fact that the dialog does not show until the second time I click on the link. I added an alert box to the code, so I know the function is executed the first time the link is clicked
<script>
$().ready(function() {
$("#hrefClick").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();

I'm creating an AJAX page that is built using a PHP Class, ie the php looks a bit like this: PHP Code:
$wp_page->addjs('../var/savepolicies.js')
$wp_parser->page = "userpolicywindow.php";
$wp_parser->addlink("Home","../index.php","");
$wp_parser->addlink("Logout","javascript:logout();","");
$wp_parser->getpageid("501");
[Code]...
within this page that has been created, there is an AJAX tree folder which calls another page to be loaded into a DIV by AJAX again. Code:
[Code]...
I don't know why it doesn't work because the page has been loaded with the JS file, but as soon as the link is added afterwards it doesn't work. I take it this is because it doesn't know where to find the JS, but how can I overcome this?

I'm experiencing a weird problem when trying to do a $.ajax call. When I pass 5 variables, with either GET or POST, the script runs as I would like. However, when I use 6 or more variables, the script does not run. Does anyone know why this is?
Relevant code (stops1-5 are defined as JS variables earlier in my script, and the alerts are for testing)
$(".barcrawl-stop-id").each(function(){
alert("running ajax function");
$.ajax({
url: "/handlers/ajax/barcrawl_reorder.php",
[Code]....
So, the way it is now, it works fine (I get the first alert for each instance of .barcrawl-stop-id, and get an alert at the end with the returned data). However, when I add another variable to the data, like stop4: stop4, the script does not run (all I see is one alert with "running ajax function").

I am a newbie to using jquery and have been exploring it developing a new app. At the moment I have a number of AJAX calls to the server which I have been queueing in an array and using a single $.ajax call to handle all of them. However I know about the browser limitations of two calls per page (at the same time and want to implement this to speed up page updating). To test concurrent ajax requests I have setup various asp pages to with delays 1sec, 5sec, 10sec etc etc. and a test html file with the follwing javascript

I know about the same-origin policy and that one of the only ways to load data from a cross-domain is to load it as JSON. However, all I am trying to do is access data from a server on another port (which I believe the browser still treats as cross-domain). I need to do this because the server my application is on is a map server and the other server (Apache) is the only one that can handle php scripts. I have also tried out the plug-in from [URL] and while it works when I do $('#phpContent').load('http://www.google.com'); it doesn't work when I try $('#phpContent').load('http://localhost:80/mapScripts/getFiles.php'); I have also tried$.get('http://localhost:80/mapScripts/getFiles.php', function(data) { $('#phpContent').html(data); });
So here I am breaking my brain and do not know what else to attempt.

I am developing quite a complex user interface in jQuery that relies on an AJAX call to retrieve JSON.We have noticed that the code runs slow in IE7. IE8 and IE6 are acceptable. Firefox and Chrome really quick. I have traced the problem back to the AJAX call, which IE7 seems slow o process. What takes less than a second in the other browsers will take IE7 3 or 4. I have googled for an answer it seems there is some consensus that the native XHR in IE7 is slow, so it may not be a specific jQuery problem.Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution? Please consider that this will be a public website, so the solution cannot involve altering settings on users' machines.

Basically, what I am trying to do is call several ajax requests using jQuery on the same page, i know that all browsers are capable of requesting multiple requests. However in Chrome and Safari my website works fine, but IE, Firefox and Opera all only call the first request then dont call, the second two. I dont know why though?
All of the code for the site is here: [URL]

I'm trying to load a Javascript file which contains an array of data using .getScript(). It works fine on my server, but the request is never being made when I run it on my own computer, though the callback function is called. Is this an inherent limitation in JQuery/AJAX, or am I doing something stupid? code...

Issues with jquery ajax calls with IE and what the workarounds are?
I'm having users complain about issues of an ajax call not working, however, I've been unable to reproduce this or see the error myself.
Works fine in firefox/safari/chrome. I have windows7 + IE8/IE7 to test and that works.
My call looks like this...
I added the _requestno parameter because i read that IE does some smart caching of ajax calls, but, that didn't solve the problem.

I'm actually not sure if this isn't possible to begin with, but thought I should ask as it's better safe than sorry. On a number of my pages, I use jQuery.ajax() using the json data type. For example:

Would it be possible for people to execute this script from their own server? If yes, is there any preventative measures I can take to block any remote execution of the script? And, are there any other safety concerns I need to be aware of?

I've managed to use ajax to fetch and display the quotations which associate to a particular rep after i click that rep's name. But the only problem is the speed of response. The first few clicks are ok and very smooth. But after several tries, the response become slow and I cant even scroll down the webpage, and later on the web browser craches....
here it is:
