The JS code uses try/catch statements. This will throw JS errors on old browsers. Do we care? I think we don't for the BE as we don't even support IE 5.5 (flexforms won't work).

But if this code shall work in the FE, perhaps it should be changed.

I have no time to review it further now, but I like the idea!
