D.5 Garbage Collection

Internet Explorer 3.0 uses a "true" garbage collection scheme. This means that it never has problems with object cycles as Navigator 3.0, with its reference counting scheme, does. It also means that it avoids all the problems that plague Navigator 2.0's garbage collection scheme. For a full discussion of garbage collection, see Chapter 11, Windows and the JavaScript Name Space.
