HN comment orderI am currently in the process of re-learning JavaScript from scratch. And I found the light: 1. Douglas Crockford videos: http://www.yuiblog.com/crockford/ 2. Eloquent JavaScript intermediate level tutorials: http://eloquentjavascript.net/contents.html
I think there's no point trying to avoid memory leaks in older versions of IE. Circular references due to closures are too common and it's not worth messing with your code. IE users are probably used to getting a horrible user experience anyway. I'm sure they can cope with a few browser freezes/crashes every once in a while - They know how to take a beating :p
