Try running strac on it during the second start up and see what it is looking for. My only problem with screen and elinks is that if I stat elinks via .screenrc like so: screen -t elinks 2 elinks ~/.lynxbookmarks.html It won't accept remote launches.

I cannot reproduce that with ELinks 0.11.3, nor with ELinks 0.12.GIT from 2007-07-30. I don't have a .lynxbookmarks.html so I tried with another HTML file. I did use .screenrc.

But what exactly is a tabindex? http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-tabindex > And is there some way I can configure it properly? If I understand correctly, your complaint is that ELinks automatically gives focus to the first link in the tabbing order, and scrolls to make it visible. Whereas e.g. Iceweasel initially gives focus to the entire document, and moving focus to the first link in the tabbing order requires pressing Tab once. I suppose that would map to the Down key (move-link-next action) in ELinks. So, upon loading a document, ELinks should enter a state where: - The move-link-next action would give focus to the first link in the tabbing order (regardless of whether it is on the screen), scroll to make it visible, and exit this state. - The move-link-prev action would give focus to the last link in the tabbing order (regardless of whether it is on the screen), scroll to make it visible, and leave this state. - The scroll-up, scroll-down, move-page-up, and move-page-down actions would scroll the document but never give focus to a link. - The move-cursor-left, move-cursor-down, move-cursor-up, and move-cursor-right actions would exit this state. - How about the search-typeahead, search, and search-back actions? Is that what you are asking for? How important is the change to you, given the two workarounds of (a) setting document.browse.links.use_tabindex = 0 and (b) pressing Home after the document has loaded? > Adding features based on donations is a standard Open Source > practice, and I have been doing it for many projects now. For legal (31.3.2006/255) as well as personal reasons, I don't want to get involved in any ELinks-related monetary donations.

But the problem are not to activate a link, but to clear the readding output. Wen a page shows a line wich hiperlinks like that: News | Events | Magazine if I use the down arrow tree times, I like that the output will be something like: [down arrow] News [down arrow] Events [down arrow] Magazine and not: [down arrow] News Events Magazine [down arrow] News Events Magazine [down arrow] News Events Magazine It's clear to you? Other problem apears when I choice to enumerate links: What do you anderstand when you hear a link like that? 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 Its confused. you can look to the screen and read something like that: 1[1] 2 2[3] 3[4] 4[5] 5[6] Than you will anderstand that the 2 are not a link. But, If I'm navigatting between hiperlinks wich the down arrow? [down arrow] 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 [down arrow] 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 [down arrow] 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 [down arrow] 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 ... It's not useful I like to hear something lik that: [down arrow] 1 [down arrow] 3 [down arrow] 4 ... I understand if you never used an scren reader to navigate before. I coud see for many years than I know tat are more useful to look at the screen. Are more fast cause the eye can select the information imediately. But a text wich an screen reader are plain like a music. You can go back and forward, but it have just one dimension. Than, everyting that helps to jump to the information we like, are GOLD. If you are readding these lines: web [images] [groups] [news] web [images] [groups] [news] web [images] [groups] [news] Qwickly you percept that have tree identical lines. Than you never will read the tree lines cause the first are suficient. Your eye qeicly jumps to the next blok of text. But the synth will speak something like that: web images groups news web images groups news web images groups news The same problem ocurres when I use the up arrow to choose an old command.

When you activate lua scripting, there are a few hooks that get called when a page is downloaded, and you can do some funny things. IIRC the provided hooks.lua contains an example which reformats some news web page which by default looks horrible in elinks but with little table modifications looks ok (I used this feature to remove websites' sidebars which are annoying). You could do the same but replacing the logic for a little regular expression substitution in lua looking for the closing tags as you mentioned. Then you can make it run for just a single site domain or all incoming web pages. You will have to get help from somebody else at this point since I can't provide any code. Besides, what others have said may be useful too. I use myself the link numbering option because it is much faster over the slow ssh sessions I'm used to. In my version I can activate/desactivate link numbering pressing the dot key.

Message-ID: Debian Etch i386, Elinks 0.11.1 -- I was wondering if there has been any progress toward a problem about which I asked a couple of years ago: ghost text. That is, on some webpages, parts of the rendered text will persist when scrolling up or down the page, repeating in rows. It may go away as more text is scrolled past which forces a repaint on the screen, but otherwise persists across all open tabs. By no means do I regard this as a show-stopper; I still recommend Elinks in my technology articles. However, I wonder if there is any way to get this behavior to stop. It's been a problem on several Linux distros, less so in FreeBSD. Wherever it appears on Konsole or Xterm, it also shows up on the bare console (which I use quite a bit).

Generally this happens when ELinks' idea of what is in the screen gets out of sync with reality, most likely because the width of a character doesn't match ELinks' internal unicode_to_cell(). (ELinks does not use wcwidth(), because that depends on LC_CTYPE and POSIX does not specify the name of any locale where wcwidth() would support arbitrary Unicode characters.) In ELinks 0.12.GIT, I think there are three situations in which that can occur. (1) Bug 824: If the document uses Unicode combining characters. ELinks does not yet support those and they are not trivial to implement. (2) Bug 932: If the document uses C1 control characters (U+0080 to U+009F), UTF-8 I/O is disabled, and the terminal uses a charset that includes those characters. Currently some of ELinks' ISO-8859-* definitions include those but others don't. In principle, all ISO-8859-* charsets should include those characters, and ECMAScript code can test that. Instead they should be filtered during rendering or terminal output (isscreensafe). But e.g. CP437 has printable characters in the 0x80...0x9F range so we should pass the charset info to the filter. (3) If the terminal assigns unexpected widths to line drawing characters, like the Mac OS X Terminal does. There is not much ELinks can do about this. In principle it could ask the terminal to report the cursor position whenever it displays a new character, but some terminals may ignore such requests, and anyway it would be difficult to design dialog frames to cope with random variation in character width. If you find some other case, please report the document, the terminal, and the terminal options you use in ELinks.
