First a comment, congrats again to Shane for creating a new speakup iso for
Debian. Even I could install it. Next, how do I configure elinks? It seems
when I go to save my options it says it's saving but when I go back into the
browser, things like numbering aren't saved. I also need some help on how to
make speakup no where I'm at. It seems with cursoring off, I hear the menus,
but if there is two options at the current line, I can't use the speakup review
keys because they still read the page I visited before entering the menu system.
Finally, what option do I enable for javascript support? I went to a page that
identified itself to elinks as having javascript, but the script couldn't
execute. I did not get the unsupported url scheme you get from lynx the cat.
The particular url I was focused on was http://waitwait.npr.orgg. From there go
to the link that says listen to the show or listen. Could just be bad
scripting, but I don't know where else I should test elinks.

Hi.
Leave cursor tracking turned on and use the options manager instead of
the menus to configure elinks.
For your other questions, read the docs. It is explained very well in
the documentation with the source code.

Javascript has to be compiled into elinks with the --with-spidermonkey
configuration option. Unfortunately, the original source tarball *always* fails
to detect spidermonkey if it is installed. You will need to apt-get install
spidermonkey and spidermonkey-dev in order to get this to compile.
Then you will need to apt-build install elinks. This will build the Debian
source package and install it. Once this is done, Javascript support will be
compiled in. Note that Javascript is not compiled into the Debian binary, but
the source enables it by default.
As for the URL you gave? elinks gave me a link to www.npr.org/programs/waitwait
or something similar, which I clicked on and the page with the listen link came
up. Links2 took me to this page after confirming that I really wanted to let
the javascript redirect me to the URL. However the "Listen to the show" link
does nothing at all in either elinks or links2.
HTH.

It works for me in elinks. I get a dialog box asking what program I want
to use to open a file. You'll need MPlayer or something else that can
handle real audio streams.
I've been hearing that elinks Javascript support isn't very good, but
it's been working quite well here for quite a while now. I follow cvs
though, and maybe the stable 0.10 releases aren't getting the new
JavaScript stuff. I have procmail trash the commit messages for the
stable branch so I don't know what's been going into 0.10.x.
It seems strange to say that development code works better than stable
releases but for now as far as JavaScript goes that seems to be the
case.
If you feel like it, try checking out cvs head. The debian packaging
files are all there too so it's almost as easy to build. You'll need
automake and autoconf though. If 0.10 is as bad is it sounds you'll find
a huge improvement I think.
Hope this helps.

Hi. In the origional message on this thread the URL
http://waitwait.npr.org
was given as an example test of elinks's javascript support.
Unfortunately, I tried with my elinks with javascript as well as my
links2.1 pre 17 and couldn't listen to the show. Bothe elinks and links
show the listen link as a javascript, but neither did anything when I
tried to activate the link.
I also tried going to the site with Mozilla and also couldn't listen to the
stream. In the case of Mozilla, I couldn't even find the link. My
girl friend said it was there, and I could press tab until she said I
was on it, but I got no feedback from Mozilla to let me know this.
Hope this helps.
Kenny

That is exactly the behavior I get. It's possable they've sinse included
spidermonkey, have to check that out. Is there another url you know of which
has javascript that I can test with elinks? Most help suggestions indeed
thanks
Sean
