Memory Leak in IE?

I have an ASP.NET page created by a coworker that uses an Infragistics grid (this is the only third party component on the page) and when run initially, IE takes abouot 10 Meg or memory, via the task manager.  Refresh the page repeatedly (the page is refreshed by a meta tag in the real world) and memory slowly increases, eventually crippling the machine.  If you minimize the IE instance, the memory usage shrinks down to 2 Meg or so, restore and the growth continues.

Any thoughts?  I have googled this, and do not think any of what I have seen applies (though I have not eyeballed the JScript used by Infragistics...

is the issue only happening with that page or with any page you use?

is any kind of client object / code downloaded?

FWIW Infragistics sucks IMHO they wanted me to buy a new lic. just to fix a bug in a control, they sent me a buggy part and did not feel that they should service the part.

I found a compatible part else where and dumped them.

These two look like potential candidates (without knowing details of version, etc. ):

Alex, the second one looks like a winner to me. I have forwarded the link to my customer (I am out here at MS this week for the ASP Insiders preview). I searched Infragistics, but somehow did not pull up these. Thanks!

It appears they are running version 2.x (trying to get exact details) and so those issues appear not to apply. But it certainly gives us some confidance that the Infragistics JScript could be the culprit.

Turns out that the memory leak:

a. Does not happen in Netscape.
b. Does not happen in IE if one replaces the Infragistics Javascript file with an empty file.

Hmm. Interesting stuff.
