I have a problem where the below code chunk causes handle leaks on some
machines. The leak APPEARS to be handles to the registry key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet
Settings\ZoneMap

The below code runs on a timer running several times per second and
after about 15-30 minutes or so, it runs out of handles and crashes IE.

I found an article on msdn discussing how setting properties in this
way could cause memory leaks if the reference to the nodeValue in the
div isn't set to null before leaving the page (they suggest doing this
in an unload function though of course, that does not quite work here
since we aren't unloading... we're just constantly updating the data).


Instead, as you can see below, I've set the div's innerHTML to null
prior to resetting it.... to no avail. Any help would be much
appreciated.

var currentId;
var responseXML;
var xmlDoc;

var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
xmlhttp.open("POST", "<URL>" //where <URL> is the url that is
responding with xml data
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
{
responseXML = xmlhttp.responseText;
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.loadXML(responseXML);

for (i=0; i<xmlDoc.documentElement.attributes.length;
i++)
{
currentId =
xmlDoc.documentElement.attributes[i].nodeName;

document.getElementById(currentId).innerHTML =
null;
document.getElementById(currentId).innerHTML =
xmlDoc.documentElement.attributes[i].nodeValue; //Note:
Commenting out this line removes the handle leak.... but of course that
also prevents my data from updating.
}
delete xmlDoc;
xmlDoc = null;
responseXML = null;
}

xmlhttp.send(null);
delete xmlhttp;
xmlhttp = null;
}
