Sean McMahon's comments on configuring elinks how do I? were as follows:
# Finally, what option do I enable for javascript support?  I went to a page that
# identified itself to elinks as having javascript, but the script  couldn't
# execute.  I did not get the unsupported url scheme you get from lynx the cat.
# The particular url I was focused on was http://waitwait.npr.orgg.  From there go
# to the link that says listen to the show or listen.  Could just be bad
# scripting, but I don't know where else I should test elinks.

Javascript has to be compiled into elinks with the --with-spidermonkey
configuration option.  Unfortunately, the original source tarball *always* fails
to detect spidermonkey if it is installed.  You will need to apt-get install
spidermonkey and spidermonkey-dev in order to get this to compile.
Then you will need to apt-build install elinks.  This will build the Debian
source package and install it.  Once this is done, Javascript support will be
compiled in.  Note that Javascript is not compiled into the Debian binary, but
the source enables it by default.

As for the URL you gave?  elinks gave me a link to www.npr.org/programs/waitwait
or something similar, which I clicked on and the page with the listen link came
up.  Links2 took me to this page after confirming that I really wanted to let
the javascript redirect me to the URL.  However the "Listen to the show" link
does nothing at all in either elinks or links2.

HTH.
