Description Rüdiger Herrmann CLA 2012-08-18 08:03:20 EDT 
The RAP Workbench Demo [1] reponds with this Javascript error after a few clicks:
  Error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null
The message varies, but the error is reproducible in latest FF, IE and Chrome.

The quickest way to reproduce the error is to click the "Do it" button in the "Editorparts" section. The error also occurs when trying to open an editor for one of the items in the Navigator

The demo application is barely useable.

This has been fixed 9 months :-) ago (see duplicate bug), but the online version has never been re-deployed.

Sorry for not checking for duplicates myself.
While responding to a forum post about slowly opening views I wanted to reference the demo but backed away after seeing how broken it is.
I think it is high time to redeploy the demo.
