When compiled properly elinks works with JavaScript, so does links.
further what of those individuals who cannot use your idea of accommodation? Additionally, the /access site was intended for a lower graphical environment, and still should follow basic web design rules, like alt tags.

I suspect lack of JavaScript support in most text-mode browsers is at
least part of the problem. Amazon works well enough in Firefox with
Orca, but much of the site simply won't load if JavaScript is disabled
or blocked.

Admittedly, Firefox working is annoying in its own way since if I
didn't need Firefox, I could ditch the GUI altogether.

Hi folks,
sharing and asking for ideas about the following.
Has anyone visited amazon.com/access
lately in elinks and enjoyed success?  Lynx either for that matter, or
anything  else?
Previously the main site the m.site and or the access site could result in
something.
Now though  either
a, the site claims not to recognize cookies even after accepting them,
lynx.
b. the site will not function without cookies, links and elinks, neither of

which? actually supports cookies in the first place.
c. if  you  make multiple efforts to reach your account the site thinks
you are  trying to hack presenting you with a captcha page with no  actual
links on it.
d.  if you try to log in at amazon.com/access in a low graphics browser, or

links or elinks, the sign in page is 15 pages long with no alt tags
associated with where the information goes.
e. if amazon staff  provides you with their own captcha data, a work
around they were using for the  badly constructed verification, it now
also fails.
Amazon claims to have accessibility staff, but they seem to be no longer
aware of the importance of Linux access.
So...thoughts and or ideas?
Thanks,
Karen
