You may actually have javascript installed in elinks, sometimes some sites 
just don't understand that elinks has got it running so will present a 
message saying it is disabled. To check that elinks has javascript issue the 
command "elinks --version" at the bash prompt, and it should list everything 
you compiled elinks with and should mention spider monkey if you did compile 
support. To check if it is enabled, check in the options manager, under 
ecmascript.

Hi. You may also want to change your user agent, so that said site thinks you are using a microcrap browser.

In your $HOME/.elinks/elinks.conf you want to put something like:

set protocol.http.user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;
Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)"

The above line will tell servers that you're using msie6, under
windows xp.

Be aware however, that from my experience at least, this doesn't always
help the js detection situation either.

One other thing. Even if the js support is compiled in and working
properly, elinks will still show the content in the <noscript> tags by 
default. I guess the js support isn't quite complete and this let's 
alternate content continue to be shown.
This means if you get a message about not having javascript things may 
still work fine. This is an elinks feature that seems to backfire or 
just be confusing more often than it helps. This line in elinks.conf 
will turn it off.

set ecmascript.ignore_noscript = 1
