So my evaluation of javascript support in NS3.9 (Ubuntu 18.04) has found.
The version of duktape used is 2.3. Reference found in duktape.h. According to the duktape site version 2.3 is ECMAscript 5.0-5.1 compliant. According to ECMAscript 5.0 documentation the try-catch statement is supported. My testing with NS 3.9 shows try-catch is not working. So something is amiss! As jquery requires try-catch it is prevented from working in NS. The DOM module is also severely truncated. There are nearly 1800 unimplemented bindings listed in UnimplementedJavascript.txt. Many of these bindings are critical! It is my conclusion that there would be very few javascript enabled sites that the current implantation of NS3.9 could or would actually render. Walter
