I have a javascript code with a countdown timer that runs on the client side and is updated regularly to the date set in mysql db.
I want to make the timer stop when the internet connection is lost. I am thinking on using clearTimeout()...but I need to associate it with the internet connection.
Here is the script:
I have a script which needs to detect when the internet connection is lost and hold the content of the web page until the connection is restored.
I have been given a head start with a small javascript which I am trying to get to work.
My web page, I have a web page which contains some text and graphics but more importantly it also has an iFrame. The iFrame connects to an SQL database and displays data which is refreshed every 20 seconds.
Because the internet connection at the location where the script will be running I get connection loss which makes the iFrame loose its data. The Javascript I am working with is below.

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 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 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 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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'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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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 would like to be able to know if there is internet connection
Something like this:
If it posibile to do something like this in javascript.
I'm having trouble finding example code to detect the presence of an Internet connection. It doesn't seem to be a very frequently asked question, as all I need is the answer yes or no (is the user connected or not).
I'm not interested in speed detection or any other aspect of the connection, just its existence or not. The reason is to be able to intercept link clicks on a CD-based set of HTML pages and pop up a warning if there is no connection; otherwise pass the request through to the net.
Does anybody know how to use javascript to test whether or not an
internet connection exists? Is this possible even?

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.
