One fault with those Error Consoles is that they lack a "Stay On Top"
checkbox, or one for "Jump up when written to".

Re my earlier code : given a reference to a script element, one can get
.innerHTML and (in all my browsers) read as a string the script as
transmitted.  Is there any easy way of getting that string, MINUS all
comment and MINUS all inner strings (or, in each case, removing the
content of the comments and strings) while leaving all the other code?
