While messing up this ECMAscript install I couldn't help notice that it's about three months now since I first installed a 256-color-enabled elinks and switched over from mozilla for just about all my web-surfing activities. The only exception being paying bills & online banking.
I must say that although I have done very little in the way of customization I am very satisfied with the experience. Fast rendering, sensible keyboard shortcuts, in particular, have made all the difference. I would really hate to have to go back to mozilla! The only serious problem where I am concerned is the limitations with the rendering of certain sites that have this newspaper-style multi-column presentation such as slashdot. I understand that this is due to imperfect css rendering support with the current version of elinks and I just hope this will improve at some point in the future. I also have a minor problem with sites that use a screen-wide color background to highlight headings. But this may be due to my terminal (xterm+gnu/screen) configuration. I have this problem with the gentoo main page for instance and would be curious to know if others see the same thing I am seeing. One little thing that I am missing is the absence of any indication of how far down I am into a given page. Something like a percentage indication would be especially useful for some lengthy pages such as collections of mailing list archives. I guess everybody else uses the underlying terminal's scrollbar for this (?) .. I use a fullscreen terminal with no scrollbar and sometimes - especially when searching - I'm a little lost. Anyway, thanks a lot for developing/maintaing this excellent piece of software and for all the tips and quality support. cga _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list [email protected] http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
