links and speakup

links and speakup

[Deedra Waters]

I've seen people talk about being able to use links in the past. What I
want to know, is are there tips to getting links to play nice? I'm having
problems moving to some links on pages, and in others, if the page is in
columns it reads very badly. I'm in desperate need of a browser that
supports java script, so I can fill out some financial aid applications
for school.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

This is off the top of my head so may not be fully accurate:

1.)	You can get the hyperlinks to be numbered. I find that helpful.

2.)	You can get the cursor to track. That's critical, of course.

But, I think that's about it. The chain does not do the table
serialization thing like the cat does, therefore you get islands of text
on screen that someone can see belong together, but that reads very
poorly with a screen reader's basically left to right and top to bottom
reading strategy.

Also, not all javascript pages will work. I'm sorry, I don't recall all
the details. Hope this helps, though.

The tables can be done either way: as actual tables (which can be quite
useful), or in the lynx (the cat) style.

Re: links and speakup

Hmm, how do you get the numbered links, and the cursor to track? I don't
see an option for the numbered links, and the closest I got to cursor
tracking, was to turn the "block cursor" thing off, but even that
doesn't track really well, just makes it a bit easier to understand.

Press escape, then "v".  Move down to "HTML Options", and press enter.
Press the down arrow, 4 times, then press space.  That will turn on link
numbering.
Next, press enter to save your choices.  Then, press escape, followed by
"v" again, move down to "Save HTML Options", and press enter on that.

If I'm not mistaken, that should also turn on cursor showing.

Hi Luke,

On 4 Nov 2003 22:05:49  (my local time 5 nov 2003 05:05:49), you
typed::

Is this also true for Elinks? and could you have links numbered there
as well?

Hi, Luke:

Do you mean that links the chain provides an option to go either way
with tables? If so, I wasn't aware of it, and it would be a useful thing
to be able to turn on and off. It's certainly easy enough to refresh a
page.

This is indeed what I am saying.
view -> html options -> display tables [off/on]

Re: links and speakup

[Luke Davis]

The only things I know about elinks, are that: (1) It allows background
downloading of large files, which is nice; (2) for some sucky reason, it
installs instead of what you want, if you do an "apt-get install links";
(3) I don't like its linking stratagy--it handles numbered links of all
types, somewhat in the way lynx the cat handles numbered form submit
buttons (that is: type the number, press enter, then press enter again to
activate); and (4) I don't like it.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Re: links and speakup

You can get Links to display like lynx by changing html options.

Esc v for view menu: choose html options: uncheck display tables:
Choose ok to exit menu: choose save html options from the view menu to
save for all sessions.

Hope this helps.

Re: links and speakup

[Kenny Hitt]

Yes, you can do the same with elinks.  The options are in a different
location from links.

I have a better way to deal with tables in elinks.  There is a lua
script included with the elinks source.  I put this script in my .elinks
directory.  The script is bound to the letter v.  The script will take
the current page and reformat it into a single column like lynx.  The
nice thing about using this script is I can start on a sight with tables
beeing displayed corectly and only reformat it if I need to.
