 - I always assumed when I get an error, something on that page will
likely not work, but the fact is I was ignoring them with success,
although I do not do much involved work (At the same time I lost a
script after save a few times). Someone else's problem sounds better
:) - the messages are hard to read for me, but, would there be a hint
or two that would help to  decide if the problem is my (on my page)

Thanks
Milan

It sure doesn't play well in demos.
