[Edbrowse-dev] update on dyndns

[Kevin Carhart <kevin@carhart.net>]

Actually, the rectangles error happens later on, so I don't think it is 
related to this particular unresponsive button.  Though it is still 
probably useful overall to supply the rectangles thing later.
But there is a bad JSON error in mmapi.js which happens adjacent to the 
request for "notice", which brings back and processes the div that contains these 
buttons.  I bet that the code that is supposed to imbue these buttons does 
not complete because of the JSON problem.  I'm in mmapi a little, and I 
think it has to do with getting and setting cookies.  "Storage" is 
mentioned, but it does not appear to be hitting our localStorage.  The 
functions are "get" and "set", which is not what localStorage uses.

The bad JSON seems to be a name with no value, like {"v":}
