Hah. I ran into a completely different error. I went to a page that
requires a password to access the page. It actually needs a login
(username and password), but when I did that with w3m, it core dumped,
telling me "wrong data start/end pair"
No clud what that means, but there's obviously problems with login
/password fields. Maybe that's what you're experiencing. <shrug>
Like I said, never used the program before just now to test your issue.

Interestingly enough I tried it with google first, hitting entre on
the spot where the search box should be, which worked.
However, my actual goal which is providing a password on a secure
site, failed to open the password entry field.

From what I read, the form entry has first to be selected before it
can be
edited. Now, how in w3m you locate controls with text and without color
is I think an accessibility problem of w3m.

to edit mode in w3m with the version of w3m running on my machine.

Hi all,
only asking because the browser has been referenced when others
encountered
lynx situations.
Is there a specific command to make text boxes appear, so one can
type in
them?
consider doing a search as an example, although that is not my goal.
Thanks,
Karen
