Hey thanks for the link; it was interesting to grasp the general concept on what he was doing. My biggest hangup with using text browsers like elinks is the lack of decent javascript support. So many websites I venture to end up not working at all with elinks. Everything from just sloppy unworkable rendering to an out and out statement from the site indicating that "Your browser won't work with our site. Pleast get a more modern browser." or similar type messages. Some cases, I've ended up with a basically blank page that elinks can't render at all. Last time I checked, phppgadmin, a web based tool to manage postgresql databases, completely crashed elinks! I like to use it for simple things like most blogs and this scripting might put more life back into it. I already know perl and would be interested in seeing how I can integrate perl scripts instead of having to learn yet another scripting language right now. I'm in the process of studying HTML, PHP and database systems just so I can find another job in this fucked up economy of ours so hesitate to get mired down in learning more stuff that I can't really take to the job market yet. Does anyone have a good idea where to learn more about elinks internals and scripting support? Last time I looked, I pretty much found little in the man page for it.
