Java script memory leak

I have a web app running on the windows CE device. In one of the asp.net
pages - it has javascript code. That seems to have a memory leak.
When I run the web app - in about one hour, the app hangs. I looked at the
memory and it seems to be full.
I removed all the javascript code - and the app seems to be have no leaks.
As soon as I include my javascript code - the memory consumption gradually
increases.
Whether I actually invoke the javascript code or not - it doesn't matter.
The memory leak happens.

I have been looking at some of the discussions around memory leak and they
talk about circular references and closures.
Well, I dont think I have that issue.
What else can be the problem?

Here is the page that has the problem:

Hello Jay,

it's definetely the JS leaking.
I recommend to use these tools and try to detect where exactly it's leaking

How do you stop the timer, I don't see it in the code.

Jay said:
I have a web app running on the windows CE device. In one of the asp.net
pages - it has javascript code. That seems to have a memory leak.
When I run the web app - in about one hour, the app hangs. I looked at the
memory and it seems to be full.
I removed all the javascript code - and the app seems to be have no leaks.
As soon as I include my javascript code - the memory consumption gradually
increases.
Whether I actually invoke the javascript code or not - it doesn't matter.
The memory leak happens.

I have been looking at some of the discussions around memory leak and they
talk about circular references and closures.
Well, I dont think I have that issue.
What else can be the problem?

Here is the page that has the problem:
