Hi Hans,
lynx no more suppresses site content, than a monitor  refuses to show 
material.
All lynx can do is give you what the site designer  has used in their 
code.
If the person drafting the site decides to use  techniques that do not 
respond to the keyboard, do not create active links  try  to do something 
loopy like a sort of dynamic element, it is not the fault of  lynx.
In fact you may wish to contact the people behind this site and inform 
them.  Especially since lynx is often used by those in their market.
Does this make sense?
Remember the references to the Internet as a super highway.
Lynx is just a car, if someone leaves pot holes  in the road, one does not 
blame the car for this   yes?
Happy to help,
Kare
