Hi,

I've been using elinks for a week or so and I'm very impressed with it. But
I have been wondering how to print pages.

At the moment I'm saving a page and using

w3m -dump xxx.htm | lp

Is there a way of setting up a keyboard shortcut/alias to do this?

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately the elinks package I'm using was
compiled without Lua support.

But I have managed by setting up a URI passing options called Print
and pointing to a bash script:

elinks -no-references -dump $@ | lp 2>/dev/null 1>&2

Seems to work ok so far.

Thanks again.

I would like to be able to scan an HTML page and get all the links on 
the page. Obviously, that can be very difficult when the links are 
generated with JavaScript because you can't just request the document 
source from the server.

Would it be possible to use Elinks to download a web page from a server, 
run the javascript on the page, and then have it output the resulting 
HTML? Keep in mind that I would like to do this from the command line so 
that I can automate this process (if possible).

If it is not natively supported, would I be able to script it using PERL 
and Elinks?

Thanks.

ELinks does not support document.write, so JavaScript code cannot
generate links as HTML.  There was an attempt to implement this
in 0.12.GIT; the part that captures the written HTML to a string
is still there, but the part that parses the HTML from the string
was reverted in commit 2c087e52e74528a720621186b91880463e039d50
on 2006-02-12.  If you just want to scan the generated links, I
think it wouldn't be terribly hard to change ELinks to save the
written HTML to a file that a separate program could then parse.
This of course does not help if the written HTML tries to run
more scripts.

The DOM might be another way to make links programmatically, but
ELinks does not yet support it either.  (I believe 0.12.GIT has
some experimental code for setting up a DOM, but none for letting
JavaScript access it.)

Support for ECMAScript/JavaScript in web pages is an experimental
feature and will be disabled by default in ELinks 0.12.0.
