Description

Making Ajax requests increases the size of the DOM on each subsequent request. Please see the link below for an example;

http://www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/ajax/tabbed-panel.0

Clicking "first tab" and running the following code in the location bar:

javascript:alert(document.getElementsByTagName("*").length);

Returns 54 however clicking "second tab" then "first tab" again returns 142. This number will keep on growing and growing as you click on different tabs (ajax requests).
