Re: Links browser, was lynx - not all sites readable

Show all headers | View raw

Hi Dutch,
I am not sure I agree with the java script focus.  after all that site 
will work in lynx, when I turn off the send user agent header option, just 
like I suggested to Hans.
why would  it work in a non graphical environment with lynx,  if I take the 
above 
referenced step if Java script is not  involved under those circumstances?
I cannot say as to the graphical ones, I do not have them.
