Description Tim Buschtoens

JavaScript "strict" mode as supported in modern browser prevents a number of common JavaScript mistakes, but can not be used with ClientScripting because " eval of strict mode code does not introduce new variables into the surrounding scope."[1]

[1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Functions_and_function_scope/Strict_mode

To support strict mode, the script should be modified before it is eval'd to retrieve the handleEvent function.

Has been fixed when Scripting was moved to the core. Writing "use strict"; before the handleEvent function gives the entire script strict mode.
