[ensembl-dev] ENSEMBL Genomes installation: AJAX error, Trailing commas

[Sharon Wei]

Hi Eugene,

I found a few other js files in eg-plugins/common/htdocs/components/ 
also missing ';' and were causing problems here and there on our test site.
Could you add them in CVS repo so that they won't become a problem in 
the future installation?

Thanks,


Sharon
