Need some good techniques in memory cleanup in point of view of existing code written by somebody else. All the suggestions , tools , relevant links will be greatly appreciated. I'm using firebug to debu开发者_Python百科g the code.

go through this onload function , whatever code inside the below method gets executed onthe load of the page.Go through the code and identity all for loops , global variables , string concatination , null checks , div exists checks...

With the above things you can fix some...issues

run profiling in firebug also ,

 $(document).ready(function() {
    // check for all null checks properly
// check global variables
// check forloops
// check circular references
     });
