JS for page/post submit meta-box doesn't update page dynamically

[duck_]

Go to edit the page/post status or visibility in the submit meta box, then click the cancel button. The page then jumps to element with id="post_status" or id="visibility" (jumping doesn't occur for published on because no id="edit_timestamp").

I believe this occurs because there is a javascript error in post.js where the variable "page" is not defined. Introduced in r13551 when "page" declaration was removed when another occurrence of its use was removed.

Actually worse than just the jumping to the element with matching id. The entire post submit meta box doesn't update on the page dynamically when new options from status, visibility or published on.

E.g. try changing published page to draft (edit, select draft, click ok). Status text stays as "Published" and submit button doesn't change to "Update Page".

var post only used in updateText(), declaring it there probably makes more sense
