[jQuery] Re: Cleaning up javascript before ajax load

[Charlie]

one more thing you might look at and maybe get clarification on empty()   " Note that this function starting with 1.2.2 will also remove all event handlers and internally cached data. http://docs.jquery.com/Manipulation/empty Veeru wrote: Hi Charlie I have checked the links you gave me, found some interesting stuff like adding a .html("") before updating the ajax content; but in the problem situation mentioned, they were only load html, but what if there is js as well - like if any element has an onClick() event in the html, and this content loads every now and then, does the event keep binding and binding till it hogs memory? I can try to remoev all js and include in an external file and load it before the ajax calls, but i am just afraid the js file might become too big and get more complicated to handle. Thanks Vru
