for what its worth, these are some the handler functions I have created.
the logic is fine, but your suggestion is much less work, it seems,
and there are a few bugs which i commented out. there are other functions
which will utilize the current state of system panels, namely opening a
module
that is in a system panel that is not currently open, requires first
opening the panel via ajax.updater
i am not an expert in JS, its not very intuitive for me.
function get_system_states() {
var ref = document.getElementById('mb_system_state_references');
var systemz = [];
systemz = ref.innerHTML.split(":",33);
