Look at libsee.  The problem is that links would have to generate a DOM 
for javascript to work.

You may be able to look at hv3 to get an idea of how that's done.  It's 
written in Tk/Tcl and C. http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/hv3.html

I desparately need a lightweight javascript enabled browser.  I thought 
we had a solution with konq/e, but it's just too slow and big.

I've not looked through links enough to see just how much work is 
involved in creating a dom....
