Re: JS security

[Gordon McComb <gmccomb@ix.netcom.com>]

There is an onUnload event and an undocumented finalize method for clearing
this stuff up.  Maybe we should start to use these, if these kinds of
problems are going to persist.  I know the status bar stuff is particularly
"sticky" so anything that gets written to the status bar should be removed
through an unLoad event.
