Rails spinoffs - Sep 2007 - IE memory leak and update()

Hello

I have following code in my project and it''s a question for me if it
causes memory leaks in IE.

pagePart = getSearchResult(); // retrieve part of the page w/ search
result from server
$(''container'').update(pagePart);
$$(''#container a'').each(function(a) {
  Event.observe(a, ''click'', ...); // handlers for link clicks
});

As you see it just takes some html code from server, update container
and attach click listeners to each link inside container. This code
executed each time user want to search for something. Does this mean
that all event handlers attached to links are stay in browser''s memory
until page closed?

Any thoughts about my situation?
I am almost sure this problem exists, maybe someone had the same in
the past?
