Plugging Internet Explorer's Leaks

jgwebber writes "If you're developing DHTML web apps, you probably already know first-hand that Internet Explorer has horrendous memory leak issues. You can't not run on IE, so you've got to find a way to plug those leaks. So I've created a tool to help you find them. So until Microsoft decides to fix its browser architecture (ha!), at least we can keep it from blowing huge amounts of memory."

    You need to get your facts straight:

    FACT: Slashdot was originally created as an Internet Explorer discussion site in 2001.

    FACT: Memory leaks are caused by open source programs only

    FACT: The term "Memory Leak" came from chips getting so hot from bad programming that the memory would actually leak silicone (much like your mom)

    FACT: IE is the official browser of slashdot AND the vatican.

    Next time get your FACTS straight.

    Because if I did it that way, some smug, flash git would invariably have pointed out that using strstr or strpos is non-extensible, non-scalable, or somesuch. Them's the breaks when you choose a language with at least two ways to do everything {some of which you can't help suspecting might only ever have been put there just for the sake of there being more than one way to do it}. It's like when your mother buys you two sweaters for christmas -- whichever one you wear she will ask you what's wrong with the other one?
