Re: [Lynx-dev] Lynx access to Cyclos

[Osvaldo La rosa aka Aldo]

Thank you for your advise.
I've once tried long time ago Edbrowse but wasn't able to do anything with it
since it is unfortunately too hard & not intuitive enough.
Maybe I'll try it again but I need some examples of usage and not only a man
page.

Regards,

Osvaldo / Aldo.

Fully supporting scripting  based web applications would require a 
complete rewrite of Lynx.  Even then it might not work well, as there is 
a good chance that application would make fundamental assumptions about 
having a graphical display.


Lynx does not create an HTML5 document object model, does not implement 
the de facto graphical browser object models and does not contain a 
scripting interpreter.


Some other text browsers use heuristics to cope with common constructs, 
but the will not cope with many modern sites, which often create the 
page in the browser, and download multiple, typically JSON, data files, 
to populate it.  If you get a page that initially displays place 
holders, on a leading brand graphical browser, you are probably dealing 
with such a site.

[Lynx-dev] Lynx access to Cyclos

[Osvaldo La rosa aka Aldo]

Hello dear Lynx group,

I'm using the Lynx distro binary version 2.9.0dev.5 under Ubuntu Linux OS.

I encounter difficulties to access my local LETS (Local Exchange and Trading
System help-community) since they recently changed from eLAND then another
system to Cyclos.
The one and only I can see when surfing to the website is: 

###

   (BUTTON)

   This application requires JavaScript, but your browser either doesn't 
support it or has disabled it.
   Please, enable JavaScript if possible, or use another browser.

### 

I experienced for years and years this problem and would like to know
- if there is a recent solution to it
- if yes why not implementing it or why not implemeent a feature that could
be used from within the Linux terminal.
(NB: I tried the same site with Links2, it doesn't work too)
