If a DOM Element is removed, are its listeners also removed from memory in javascript?
In modern browsers, if a DOM Element is removed, its listeners are also removed from memory in javascript.
Note that this will happen ONLY if the element is reference-free. Or in other words, it doesn't have any reference and can be garbage collected. Only then its event listeners will be removed from memory.
