[jQuery] IE/FF Memory Leak

[jQuery] IE/FF Memory Leak


I am a newbie to jQuery so this may be a simple answer...
My goal in this exercise is to return a specific html table block
(table.DetailTable) from a dynamically generated html page which is
the result of a servlet call into a div (xyz). The issue I am having
is that whether I set the timer interval to 1 second (1000) or 30
seconds (30000), this code is leaking horriblly. I verified the leak
in both IE6 and FF 2.0.0.12.
Here's the abbreviate code snippet that I'm working with:
function loadMyData(){
var t;
$("#xyz").load("http://URL table.DetailTable",{Param1:"Param1Value"});
            t = setTimeout("loadMyData()", 5000);
        }
$(document).ready(
    function(){
        loadMyData();
    }
);
Any help with this issue is very much appreciated!
