Instead of try catch I created the style object, if it was missing, and also 
log that it is not there.

Thank you.. the homepage of amazon now reports no errors at all!
The login page still reports a couple.  Logging in doesn't work yet.

There's something quite remarkable.........
If you want to experience this for yourself, do this..

This code, called fwcim._CB516154953_.js, is impressively obfuscated. Not something you run across every day. I hope we will be able to just point edbrowse at it and will not need to think about its inner workings, unless anyone knows about deobfuscation or has the appetite for a huge substitution cipher:

                            var _z2sz = function (_Zs$2, _iLLLl, _111LI) {
                                var _ooO0O = [
                                    'FwcimObfusca',
                                    'nod',
                                    'te',
                                    'hBStatement',
                                    'has',
                                    'e',
                                    39801
                                ];
var _ZS$2z = _ooO0O[1] + _ooO0O[5] + (_ooO0O[0] + _ooO0O[2]), _2szSs = _ooO0O[6];

There is more to do here.. I've just been reading a blog post by Ricky Lalwani, who has succesfully done just what we are trying to do. The problem involves an http request variable called 'metadata1', which is generated on the fly. And a remarkable amount of work goes in to building this thing.

So the good news is that others have tried to log in to amazon over http tools. The bad news is that it appears to be an industrial strength challenge..
