I have created a image tag in javascript for some processing, after that when i complete the processing i need to remove/dispose the object. i use the jquery remove method to remove the object. what is the difference of jquery remove method and assigning null to the object? which should i use.?

function processInfo()
{
var img = new Image();
/*

*/

// at this line i need to remove/dispose the object.

$(img).remove();
}

jQuery remove removes element reference from DOM. If your javascript reference is scoped to processInfo function you don't need to do anything else, garbage collector will remove this ref automatically. Even more, if you don't add your img to DOM remove call also not necessary.
