Thanks for the comments - I totally agree that it is amazing how far the web has moved from its original idea of display independent content. I know our site is as bad as many - though we at least have variations of the content for different types of interface so there is something for everyone but there is a tendency to work to the standard capabilities for people with big graphical screens.
Though it is a shame when people use Javascript when there is a perfectly good alternative. Anyway thanks for your comments and Happy New Year to all. I am still a great fan of Lynx for many jobs :) Well done all. ------ | AJ | ------ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Stef Caunter > Sent: Saturday, December 31, 2005 12:07 AM > To: ALanJay > Cc: 'Lynx Development'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Lynx-dev] lynx and forms > > This gets asked here quite often; most of the object model for JS relates to > graphical events, which doesn't translate very well to command line. > > Note that Google still makes no accounting for JavaScript; I have > maintained for some time that the most real view of the web is presented by > the > lynx browser, and have argued that it is represented in sum by Google. > > I also find server control of a client unwelcome. > > __Stef > http://caunter.ca/contact.html > > On Fri, 30 Dec 2005, ALanJay wrote: > > > I know this is not the place to ask but are their any text based browsers > that > > work with JavaScript? > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas Dickey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, December 31, 2005 12:32 PM > To: ALanJay > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Lynx Development' > Subject: Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx and forms > > On Fri, Dec 30, 2005 at 06:37:17PM -0000, ALanJay wrote: > > Thanks for the explanation. > > > > It does seem odd considering the APC interface must be used by a lot of system > > administrators and not using JavaScript would be no problem. perhaps the APC developers use cut/paste as part of their methodology... _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
