jquery dom element construction within frame causing elements to leak

Description

jQuery Version: 1.2.3

Internet Explorer Version: 6 or 7

In the following example sIEve will report two leaks for every time

leak() is called only when the page is inside a frame. If this html

is served itself as the main page it will not report a leak BUT if

it's served inside the below frameset these two leaks are reported

each time the leak() function is called: <div>div<div></div></div>

It does not have anything to do with the append function as

the noleak function (which doens't leak) also uses append. It happens

anytime you create dom objects using $("..."). In my project we are dynamically creating a large table and each node in the table is reported as leaking when leaving the page. If I remove the frameset these nodes do not leak.

<frameset rows="*" framespacing="0" border="false" frameborder="0">

<frame src="frame.htm" frameborder="0">

</frameset>

<!-- frame.htm source -->

<html>

<script language="javascript" src="jquery-1.2.3.min.js"></script>

<script>

$(document).ready(function(){

});

function leak(){

$("#mydiv").append(":leak ");

}

function noleak(){

var text = document.createTextNode(':noleak ');

$("#mydiv").append(text);

}

</script>

<body >

<div id="mydiv">should be appended here</div><br/>

<a href="#" onclick="leak();">leak</a><br/>

<a href="#" onclick="noleak();">noleak</a><br/>

</body>

</html>

I don't see an increase in memory with 1.4.2 and IE8 so I'll close this ticket.
