As Ajax applications are become more and more popular, it also means that software defects well-known in desktop application are starting to creep into web applications as well.

Justin Rogers has written an article about IE and JavaScript memory leaks. I recommend reading this article, since it illustrates that not even web programming is perfect, and many people have already started to learn.
