memory leak w/ lots of tooltips Created Oct 17, 2009

I noticed there is a memory leak in at least Chrome and Firefox when creating lots of tooltips (my app was creating about 200 every 10 sec) and then removing the trigger elements they are attached to from the dom. I think the tooltips should probably be disposed of automatically when the trigger element is removed from the dom, but the library doesn't seem to provide any manual way to dispose of the tooltips, either. This is problematic for a long-running application that changes tooltips frequently. For example, Google chrome will fail the tab after the javascript heap gets too big (500mb+).

I've since gone back to the tooltip plugin fromhttp://jquery.bassistance.de/tooltip/demo/ which doesn't appear to have this problem, but I just wanted to let you know about it.

Warm regards and thank you for the delightful library,
Brandon
