Description
I have test-iframe.html that has link to test-page1.html and test-page2.html. Test pages includes jquery.1.6.1.min.js. The html files are shown below. when tried for every load, I can see 800kb to 1MB memory leak that keeps adding up and memory usage is constantly growing. IE7 and IE8 were used to test this.
test-iframe.html
<html> <body>
<iframe src="/test-page1.htm" width="100%" height="300">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
</body> </html>
test-page1.html
<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Select work</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script> </head>
<body style="overflow:hidden;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" > <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <a href="test-page2.htm">page2</a> </body> </html>
test-page2.html
<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Select work</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script> </head>
<body style="overflow:hidden;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" > <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <a href="test-page1.htm"> page1 </a> </body> </html>

I've noticed a swell in memory leak tickets all related to the same issue so I decided to give this a deeper more thorough look. I rebuilt the test case and ran it through sIEve and I can confirm the leak when using iframes. Every time an iframe is loaded with jQuery, more orphaned elements are introduced by the support module.
Nulling all of the references in support caps the memory leak. The only way I was able to confirm this was by running sIEve again and observing that no unexpected orphan elements were being reported.

Before entering the ticket, I did use the SIEve and confirmed the memory leak.
