[Dynapi-Help] Memory leak?

[Andrew F. <an...@fo...>]

Folks,

First, please let me echo the comments of everyone here who has thanked the
developers of this great package. It's a great learning tool as well as a
useful package.

I'm using the popup widget to display nested menus in a simple web
application, and I'm having a problem with Internet Explorer. Every time I
load the page containing the popup it takes a bit longer to load, and every
time Internet Explorer 5.5 uses about 2 megs more of RAM. After loading the
page 15 or 20 times it seems that the page loads instantly from the server,
but there's a delay of 7 or 8 seconds before the browser displays the top
popup. (This is on a 400MHZ P2.) (IE4.5 on the Mac never does get enough ram
to display my popups even once. Netscape seems fine.)

I've tried adding alert()'s to the onDelete functions of the various
dynlayer-derived classes and verified that they're being called. If I can't
fix this problem I'll have to scrap what I've done and use something other
than these routines, and I don't want to do that.

Does anyone else have this experience? Is there a workaround? I know there
was a memory leak in innerHTML in IE 5.0, but it's supposed to have been
fixed.

Thanks!
