FreeTextBox 3.0.6 release (IE7 support)

I just finished up work on 3.0.6 (download). Here the change log:

  • Added: new project for ASP.NET 2.0 (FreeTextBox.sln renamed to FreeTextBox-2003.sln)
  • Fixed: the default dll (3.0.5000.6; which is ASP.NET 1.1) now runs properly on ASP.NET 2.0 Beta 2 web servers
  • Fixed/Added: support for
  • Updated: Japanese language file
  • Started: IE memory problems.

Proof 😉

FreeTextBox on IE7

On IE Memory Leaks

I am working to re-write the event coding for IE to prevent the
memory leaks, but I decided to release 3.0.6 early to get IE7 support
out the door. I am rewriting the event code to take advantage of an
idea from called .
When attaching events to objects, EventCache records all the closures
and then manually releases them in the window.onunload event. IE should
be able to do it natively, but it doesn’t. The memory footprint of IE6
increases about 4-5MB every time a page with FreeTextBox is loaded or
refreshed. Happily, IE7 (beta1) looses only about 800KB. That’s a ton
better than IE6, but still a little behind Firefox which doesn’t really
lost any memory. Here’s hoping IE7 can do even better by the release
date.

  6. White smoke should not be confused with the thin wisps of steam that comes from the tailpipe when you start your car.
    A head gasket failure results in a leak, which in turn produces white
    smoke. All these years I have constantly maintained
    which patients need to be told the truth or offered with enough and impartial info to enable those todecide
    for themselves.

  7. Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I
    guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say,
    I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new
    to everything. Do you have any points for novice
    blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

  8. Like a pet owner, you may put your dog to work assisting you to shed weight.
    Often people are gripped by intense feelings like anger,
    hatred, depression, stress, boredom, loneliness, etc.
    I’ve had a customer of mine decide to give up his long time love of chocolate, and decide to just focus on calorie counting, minor
    exercise, and portion sizing.

    a quick visit this web page and be up to date every day.
