[Edbrowse-dev] version / dyndns

Thank you for working on them!  I noticed that you wrote a 
searchscripts().  That's useful.  I was doing the same thing recently, 
crudely with blah.split("mystring").length

But that is an example of where long expressions in jdb, with a varying 
bit in the middle of a long static bit, is annoying to continually 
assemble over and over, so searchscripts is easier, and easy to memorize.

And static analysis is one way of tackling errors in event code, where we 
don't have a filename or line number reported, right?

I'm also replying here to Chuck's report about dyndns.  Thanks for raising 
this, Chuck.

Well, I noticed this when I run dyndns.com with db3:

TypeError: undefined not callable (property 'getClientRects' of [object 
Object])
failure on 0xf63938.onload()
execution complete

I'm going to investigate if we can satisfy this with some stubs.  Maybe it 
will be similar to our set of stubs for Canvas.  There's a 
related function, getBoundingClientRect.  Both of these things had 
runtime errors in quite a few sites in my top sites experiment yesterday. 
So by fixing it for dyndns we should also fix it for some other 
situations at the same time.
