WebDBM still broken in 7.4?

[Elias Martenson]

I noticed that WebDBM, which broke in 7.4 beta is still broken in 7.4.

Is there any plan to fix this? Without WebDBM, the process of setting up a new database instance without access to a windows box to run DBMGUI on is unnessecarily complicated. The Linux HOWTO I'm working on uses WebDBM to get up to speed quicklu (which I believe is important when getting people try mine (and your, I must hope :-) ) favourite database).

(if you still don't know which bug I'm talking about)

The bug manifests itself as not being able to set any system parameters. Pressing the commit symbol (the green checkmark) will result in a javascript error. Looking at the HTML of the web page I can see that there are two problems. First of all there are some HTML comments embedded within a javascript function definition (the comments contain tags that apparently control varaible subsitution in the template page). Trying to put HTML comments inside javascript vreaks at least Mozilla (don't know about otther browsers).

The other problem is that there is a variable definition that initialises a javascript variable with a value that is the result of a template substitution. The definition looks somehting like:

someVariable = "somevalue;

Note the missing terminating quote.

I hacked the templates to make them produce the correct data but something still went wrong when trying to use the page.

Very few people must use WbmDBM since I havent found any browsers that manage to groc the broken javascript code in the current version. I've tried Mozilla, Opera and MS Explorer.
