[webkit-dev] In-memory copy of the fetched HTML document?

[Nilesh Patil]

Hi

Source/HTMl map will be there in memory till the time page is not
refreshed or moved to other page. Try digging into rendering tree ,
Node list and all that stuff which gets constructed while rendering
HTML.

Thanks & Regards
Niilesh
