It wasn't a total deal-breaker, but thanks for taking care of things, JT!
I haven't tested it on Opera or the Wii (both Presto-based browsers), nor any Webkit-based browser (Safari, Google Chrome), but they shouldn't be affected by the change I made as it's an IE-specific tag (web design is plagued by the need for many IE-specific tags since their browsers are so buggy and compliancy-non-standard). I shouldn't think Opera would have a memory leak like this though, LMK if it really is happening.

I suppose I should have reported this earlier but I just thought it was limited to mine (until others reported having problems). I have IE at both work and home, at work it's not an issue, but at home it is. I have yet to type anything long enough to potentially trigger it but I look forward to not having this issue. Thanks JT!

Same here.
I have IE at both work and home, at work it's not an issue, but at home it is.
Again, I had the same experience, which is probably why I assumed it was just some issue with my home browser.

You guys have no excuse for using IE at home. For real.

...I had to look up what "IE" stands for. Will that do?

Oh, I got there. It took me a while, but I got there.
Sometimes I wonder if knowing more about computers would help develop my writing, but then I get lost on Wikipedia or TVTropes and give up.

Understanding the technology you are working with never hurts. And, it is definitely a better use of 'net-time than a wiki about TV.

(It actually covers all media forms from music and novels to TV and video games, and is an ENORMOUS bank of data on stereotypes, popular and obscure, presented in an intuitive manner. Being as my speciality is media representation, it's been a valuable resource.)

I have looked it over, but never found it terribly useful.
Trust me, reading non-fiction in general will do much to improve your writing and reading.
