How to find a memory leak in a web application running in IE?

Question

I've written a web app which after a while causes IE 8's memory usage to soar to just under a Gig. I think there is a memory leak somewhere in the javascript, but I've got no idea how to find the root cause of this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I make use of intervals to call ajax methods on a Java backend and I'm using Prototype as a JS library...

The Drip and IE Sieve leak detectors help web developers improve the performance of dynamic web pages by reporting avoidable memory leaks caused by Internet Explorer limitations.
