Description

If the JS code can be structured such that there's no top-level async functions, and old browsers (e.g. IE11) simply elide the attempt to check the remote URL, older browsers could at least have the enable/disable flag working on the button. Which is a slight, if trivial, improvement.

Research direction

Locate the JavaScript code that checks the remote URL and controls the button's enable/disable flag. Check how its top-level async usage affects older browsers such as IE11; done means older browsers can use the flag while skipping the remote URL check.
