The JavaScript (ECMAScript) support in ELinks uses a legacy implementation
of the interpreter (mozjs-1.8.5). Several bugs of the legacy interpreter
breaking ELinks had to be debugged recently:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1177557
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1425004
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1446545
I have never used the JavaScript support in ELinks myself so I cannot tell
how useful it actually is. On the other hand, I was debugging issues with
ELinks that were caused by the JavaScript support despite the actual use
cases were completely unrelated to JavaScript.
I am about to remove the JavaScript support from ELinks completely unless
someone actually uses it (and perhaps is able to help with maintenance, or
at least with testing it).
So is there any active user of the JavaScript support in ELinks?
