FUD.

Me too. ;)

Screw xhtml. <g> I'm sticking with HTML, just like I stick with Lynx. :-) I expect both to outlive me. ;)

No, Lynx is the primary browser for many people, including myself. I'm using it for about 98% of all websites.
On the wonderfully graphic Mac OS X, I set up Lynx as my default browser. :D
But it's not sticking... think I need to add a plist to my AppleScript applet to claim the MIME types and filename extensions... perhaps I'll just copy/paste from Netscape....

And it's the only browser I know which supports * textfields-need-activation
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
* navigation by numbering links and form fields * partial displaying with a threshold of 1
?
* a source view starting where in the rendered form of the page you're in right now
Eh? Is that a special setting? My Lynx always goes to the top of the page.
The only "starting where..." that works for me is editing bookmarks, but that only works right for a few hundred links; after that there's a cumulative error in line counting. Perhaps I should report that separately as a bug....
* tables rendered in a way not trashing keyboard navigation when not using numbered * spawning $EDITOR on a form field (COOL!)
OmniWeb has something similar -- click a tiny box in a corner of the text field and up pops an editor window.
I miss a few things, but I can live with it. And not one of these features I miss does a graphical browser give me.
P...r...0...n. LOL
