Question

This is the jQuery method that I have at my webpage, it refreshes a image every 5 seconds by loading the same page and replacing the image.

$(document).ready(function () {
    var refreshId = setInterval(function () {
        $.get('default.aspx', function (data) {
            var page = data;
            var image = $(page).find("img");
            var fecha = $(page).find("div #fecha");


            $("#Chart1").attr("src", image.attr("src"));
            $("#fecha").text(fecha.text());                    
        });
    }, 5000);
});

I saw that everytime it loads the img, the data get stored somewhere in the browser and it doesnt cleans.. And when I open the task manager, I can see the memory usage growing up..

and heres a screenshot of the image axd..

Should I worry about freeing memory? Or everything is working as its supposed to..

Answer 1

Found out that the browser is just caching the images, but they are being cleaned eventually.
