Re: LYNX-DEV Lynx 2-4-2 BUG.

[Scott McGee (Personal)]

I looked at the www.stockmaster.com site with Lynx 2.5 and it indeed exhibit
the problem mentioned. When, however, I did the same with Lynx 2.7.1, it
complained

Alert! Location URL is not absolute.

then it anounced the URL it would try, and proceeded to connect to that page.
My guess is that you need to put an absolute URL on the submit button. Lets
see...yep! It currently has action="/cgi-bin/graph". Try adding the
"http://www.stockmaster.com"; part to it.

Additionally, you need to add some ALT attributes to your <IMG> tags, and
work on your table markup some more. Some stuff displays pretty badly in
lynx.

Tables CAN be done to look good in Lynx as well as the GUI browsers. Try
a few examples I have done if you need to see how.
