Question

I have an image rotator that creates a div for a new slide, hides the current slide, shows the new div, and removes the hidden div.
All this is done with jquery and I’m using this code to remove the slides I don’t need anymore:

var last = $("#item_" + lastSlide + "_" + idSuffix);
last.empty();
last.remove();
last = null;

The memory is still increasing after each slide.
Any ideeas about how can I efficiently clear the memory?

Answer 1

The best solution I’ve came up with was to clear the html content before I remove the element.

For example:

myDiv.html("");
myDiv.remove();
