w3m text browser question
 

hi ,

i just used w3m , the text browser ! i must say it's quite impressive ... i can work in console n surf the net at the same time without switching b/w windows !!!

however 1 feature that i could not find is clicking buttons .... like when i sign into my yahoo mail (which uses a button to compose mail ) .... w3m does not see it as a link :scratch:

... do u know if there is a way to get over that or any other text browser that can handle this ???

thanks

Becuase w3m doesn't knows how to handle javascripts, probably you are going face trouble in browsing most websites.

btw. you could try out other text browsers like:
lynx
elinks

I dont know whether they will help you or not, but you should give a try.

i already tried lynx ... that doesnt seem to solve it either ... ill give elinks a shot

Try links2. It´s amazing!!!

hey stormrider_may,

i tried links2 and i must say it's wuite impressive !

however when i navigate to a page which has a button in it (which is a link as well) ... when i highlight the button (it appears at text ...) in links i get something like

<code> button onclick: window.location ...... </code>

ok atleast links recognizes it .... but when i click on it nothing happens as according to links2 it's not a link !

any ideas ??

thanks

Well, links2 doesn´t have a full support for java script. But usually buttons works.

Which version exactly are you using?

hi,

i am using Links 2.1pre17.....

do u have a yahoo mail account ... can you compose a new mail in yahoo mail using links ... (the compose mail link is a button)

thanks
a

I created a yahoo mail account and i guess that it´s not possible to use it with links :(
