BTW: how does an ALT tag display in a text browser?

<p> <img src="foo.jpg" alt="[bar]"> </p>

looks like this in lynx:

[bar]

Also: this looks a lot better in links (aka elinks) than in lynx. Didn't try w3m.

elinks??? whazzat? is it javascript enabled?

Links was a text web browser project. Elinks is a fork of links but is now accepted as a replacement for links. It does table layout (though no javascript) so it's really much more suitable for browsing modern web pages than lynx. The Debian package name is 'links-ssl' ------------------- Andrew Malcolmson -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
