Wrap our head around lexical closures yet?
To be candid, I had to get out the JavaScript manual and read up on "lexical closures". I wasn't familiar with the term. And even after reading, I didn't fully understand it. But there appear to be some similarities between the examples in the book and my code.
In the case of the component I was writing to build DOM tables dynamically:
var tb = new Table('tb');
creates a new instance of a Table object. And Table is a actually a Function object which contains other functions (or methods, if you prefer). And I use code like the following to dynamically add rows to the table:
tb.insertRowBottom(r);
And the fact that the DOM GC and JavaScript GC are
different GCs a circular reference from dom to JS
to dom can't be cleaned up. :)
Yeah, sounds messy. I'd like to steer clear of circular references.
Nathan.
