Drip

The Drip application was designed to be a simple memory leak detector for Internet Explorer. It will help web developers improve the performance of dynamic web pages by reporting avoidable memory leaks caused by Internet Explorer limitations.

Limitations:

￭ Although Drip can catch the most common causes of memory leaks in Internet Explorer, there are certain memory leaks that occur outside the realm of the web page. ￭ Specifically, pages with hidden table cells will leak memory when they are unloaded. This leak is not caused by JavaScript code, and it can only be avoided by capturing the "onbeforeunload" event and displaying all hidden table cells. Because only a small amount of memory is leaked, it is possible that certain pages can ignore this leak with no severe consequences.
