How? Do you convert them to normal text, or keep them as text fields which are just unmodifiable? The latter is inacceptable, because amost always, these read-only text fields are too small for their content and need horizontal scrolling (sometimes) or even using ^Xe on them to be able to read them fully (for example business terms and conditions). If they were just converted to the equivalent of P tags, for instance, this would probably be okay. Consider also the links-and-textfields-are-numbered bug, where the space used for [ plus number plus ] is subtracted from the INNER width of the textfields (and still displaying is not always right, e.g. in the options screen). //mirabilos -- Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh- ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C" _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
