[BUG] Browser widget implemented without access to localStorage API

[Andre Garzia]

Panos,

Found a race condition that causes the behavior I mentioned originally. It
is quite easy to reproduce, just try to execute any "liveCode.*" as soon as
the page loads. Apparently it takes some time (ticks? millisecs?) for the
liveCode.* namespace to be available for scripts running on the webview, if
you try to run them too soon, you get an undefined function error.

I had to wrap my initialization code into a "setTimeout()" so that it runs
500 milliseconds after the page load.

If you pick that stack you attached to the other bug and instead of binding
the "iMouse1" and "iMouse2" functions to event handlers, you instead simply
try running:

  liveCode.iMouse2()

In the beginning of the script, you will see the error pop in "adb logcat |
grep -i console" like:

05-16 18:48:03.872 12462 12462 I chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(43)] "Uncaught
TypeError: liveCode.getWordDefinition is not a function", source:
file:///android_asset/modules/lexicon/web/index.js (43)

Thanks for all the help.
PS: update the bug with a comment like this one.
