Description

<html> <body> <div id="test"></div> <script src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript">

/*Here is the code that causes leaks. This may be because of the circular reference as described here.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-memleak/

I was under the impression that the data store could have circular refrences, but this may not be the case. I came to the conclusion that this is because the data is stored on the expando object on the node. This would cause the circular reference problem. */

(function(){

var Class1 = function(node){this.node = node;};

$.fn.custom = function(){

$.data(this, 'leak', new Class1(this));

})();

var count = 0; var div = $('#test');

Using firefox, and found that the data on $.cache is not being removed through $('#nodeId').remove();.

Still can figure out why.

I have found the the Memory leak stops when using $(node).data() instead of $.data();.

It would be best to triage this in the forums and narrow down the cause of the problem.
