To make webmasters fix their pages to work with Lynx just makes you heave a big sigh doesn't it.. > I just tried links 0.96 - it didn't work (clicking on the results of the > search gave me something that looks like a source-view of the page). You are right actually, but it does strip the space and you can render it by using '\' - but of course this behaviour is also wrong albeit a little better than Lynx'. > > Lynx either inserts or does not strip a space between the > probably the latter (a trace shows that lynx reads it that way). The poster wrote to me and suggested that Lynx had changed its behaviour somewhere in the later development versions since the ebay pages had always worked for him with Lynx previously and so to check his assertion I installed version 2.8.3 (I really love those encaps) and tried again and lo and behold - it works! So it is a "bug" (or removed fault tolerance ) which has been introduced into Lynx since version 2.8.3. Hope this narrows down the problem somewhat. Regards, Morten -- Room service?
