The problem is that ELinks' renderer does not support the CSS box model and thus falls short on pages that make heavy use of it. No configuration option can fix this. The renderer has to be rewritten to be based on DOM. Some work has been done but there is a very very long way to go. -- Jonas Fonseca _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list [email protected] http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
