JavaScript Closures and Memory Leaks
<p>I read in Jquery in Action that memory leaks can result from javascript closures.</p>

<p>"Unintended closures can have unintended consequences. For example, circular references can lead to memory leaks. A classic example of this is the creation of DOM elements that refer back to closure variables, preventing those variables from being reclaimed."</p>

<p>could somebody give an example of this?</p>

<p>thank you!</p>
