Dear Lynx developers, Here is a bug from the Debian Bugs system, see http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/68/68542.html He says that the page renders wrong when forms and links are numbered. The page is invalid HTML, by the way. This script creates a page with the same format mentioned in the original report. Try 55 as the argument. #!/bin/bash rm test-68542.html for i in $( seq "$1" ); do cat >>test-68542.html <<EOF <li>x<ul> <li>1997 [<a href="http://x">Jan Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">Feb Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">Mar Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">Apr Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">May Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">Jun Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">Jul Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">Aug Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">Sep Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">Oct Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">Nov Z</a>] [<a href="http://x">Dec Z</a>] </li> </ul></li> EOF done cat >>test-68542.html <<EOF </ul> <hr> <h2><a name="search">Search</a> with <a href="http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/">Glimpse</a></h2> <form method=post action="http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/searchlists"> Search for? <input name="query" value="" size="40"> <input type=submit value="Search"> <input type=reset value="Reset"><br> Words separated by a space are searched for together.

The text entry box renders fine when "form fields are numbered" is disabled and only "links are numbered" is enabled. I do not know of any other sites where this is a problem, so it may be a bug at www.debian.org instead. ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
