What you need is Mozilla's SpiderMonkey Javascript engine. I think that
this libjs is the needed libjs.

Check features.log or Help -> About to check whether SpiderMonkey was
enabled.

If SpiderMonkey was not found, please send the config.log file and the
output of (if I recall the RPM syntax correctly) `rpm -ql libjs-devel`.

ELinks's support for JavaScript is very limited (in particular,
DOM is unsupported), so many sites will not work even with SpiderMonkey;
however, the open-in-new-window links that I saw on reuters.com work
fine for me.
