In development mode it reports JS errors like you're seeing... Logged ->

I'm feeling your pains as of late. This has been logged before, please chime
in on the comments so I can get it sorted ->

110% correct. That view needs a lot of TLC to clean up the cruft and
implement some better JS to keep the HTML small. Opening up that page over
SSL is even worse, since the browsers don't cache images delivered over
SSL...

I've been meaning to move the UI over to jQuery, which should make this a
breeze.

Also logged before ->

Like I mention in the ticket, I have no idea what is involved in managing
PTR records, what the validations are, etc. Please jump on that ticket, I'm
curious to get it in, and get it right.

Pardon me for admitting that would be very low priority at this stage. But
you're more than welcome to log a ticket for it. If the pressure grows,
well, what can I do? :)

Thanks Sean, your feedback is worth gold.

Just to note that I'll be offline from around 15:00 GMT today till Monday
morning to attend a local music festival out in the middle of nowhere. I'll
tackle the tickets from Monday onwards.

Cheers
