Memory Leak Detector for IE
Dflying | 10 March, 2006 18:38IE leaks memory, it is a well known fact acknowledged by the Microsoft IE team in their blog and in an article in MSDN ridiculously named Understanding and Solving Internet Explorer Leak Patterns. AJAX callbacks and page updates do not magically workaround this problem - updating the page and scripts on the page after AJAX calls do trigger the "leak patterns" of IE too. If this turns out to be a problem in your application, the best starting point is (as usual) quirksmode.org.
Here comes the Drip tool at http://www.outofhanwell.com/ieleak/. The must-have tool is a nifty little utility that starts your web-page, detects leaks and shows details for each leak.
New Features for Drip
Major enhancements include:
- Drip now supports popup windows. (Note that the "Auto-Refresh" button does not apply to popup windows.)
Major fixes include:
- Drip no longer incorrectly reports certain memory leaks involving createElement and cloneNode (thanks to Matthew Mastracci!).
- Drip no longer crashes when navigating to a folder on the hard drive.
- Drip no longer crashes when accessing properties for a leaked element that used filters.
Minor changes to the user interface include:
- Drip now supports Windows XP themes.
- Drip now displays real-time memory usage.
- "Blow Memory" has been renamed to "Auto-Refresh".
- All windows are now resizeable.
- The memory leak report can be copied to the clipboard.
- The memory leak report and properties window include a "Properties" button.
- The properties window shows the name of the parent object.
- The properties window indicates which objects are null.
