Hello folks: It's been a long time since I had a chance to work on any elinks development stuff, however I am still plagued by a sense of guilt whenever I need to access a Java-script encrusted web page. It seems that almost all web sites these days require a browser that support it and there are still no text browsers that I know of that do support it. Elinks still comes closest and it is pretty poor at it.
I would like to start working on enhancing elinks handling of ECMA script and would appreciate any help other developers would be willing to give. A valuable benefit would just be helping find the appropriate parts of the code where various things are handled or not, such as the <src...> tag. I see a lot of the ECMA pages have src tags near the top indicating one or more files which should be downloaded with essential code for handling that page. Having someone more familiar with the elinks code base point out those sections would be very helpful. One of the jobs I believe needs to be done is to accumulate the down-loadable source code from the src tags and then place it into a buffer to be handed to the ECMA script interpreter with code from the current page for execution. I would also appreciate suggestions from other folks on the best way to go about starting on the enhancements. I am worried about heading off in one direction making changes and then need to do a bunch of rewriting later because I had my priorities out of order. I'd like to hear other folks ideas and suggestions as well on what needs doing and the order it should be attacked.
