I mean just that.  I installed elinks last night including the available
javascript support and this thing has been great!  I think I'm gonna
dump the cat and the chain and use this one exclusively.  I'm just
curious from other users out there, Are there any particular settings
one ot to do to get the most out of it? I've already numbered links and
I leave frames and table rendoring turned on.  At this point I have
image links not be generated as links.  There's several options
concerning image rendoring; I liked the ability to completely hide the
[img] items on the screen in lynx but it appears that elinks shows them
no matter what.  In general, I like the accurate way tables are shown
but I do notice some occasional wrapping of some table cells so I might
have to decolumnize tables but I generally like the two dimensional view
when possible.

So thanks to Kenny for mentioning elinks a while back and incouraging me
to go for it.:)  If anyone else is wondering, the installation docs
outline exactly what to do in cluding the Spider Monkey JS support and
it worked perfectly for me.  I just ran into one web page that causes it
to crash but that's a local web based app here on my machine
(phpPgAdmin) so will persue that a bit later.  But otherwise, I've
gotten into several javascripted websites and I could use them with
flying colors!
