BackupPC uses a short snippet of JavaScript for the start backup buttons. Small pieces of JavaScript are used in several other places as well (in particular the config editor). It sounds like the elinks browser doesn't support JavaScript. The reason it uses JavaScript is because of the annoying way a submit input button works - it sets the value of the variable to the button text, not a separate value. With internationalization, it is a lot more hassle to decode the value of the action button text.
