linkage between inotes and capturing keystrokes

[danh]

Right now, there seems to be some linkage between the software for capturing keystrokes from our multi-key usb device and turning on the internal notes for visibility in the image capture screen. The turn-on is done by adding a line like <inotes>true</inotes> to ~/.scriblio/scribe.xml.

What happens is that if the inotes are turned on, then we emit tables (which i believe are normally hidden if the usb device is not connected) which have some elements which have ids such as page_markup_left and page_markup_right.

If those elements are not emitted, then a piece of javascript for capturing key strokes croaks.

The problem is that this javascript always gets run.

So we need to resolve this somehow.

Of course, one workaround is to always turn inotes on, but in that case, it shouldn't be an option, so we'd like to reduce this fragility in the code.
