Ugh.. this drives me nuts too, but in a different way: If a </A> tag is
not used in a table of links, all of the links in the table are all one
link -- the first link of the table! YUK!
The cases in point:
http://www.htc.net/~brianj/gsccc/psx/index2.html
http://www.htc.net/~brianj/gsccc/psx/index3.html
...and any other page he has that uses a table, but these are the ones I
need to access correctly. None of the anchors are terminated -- apparently,
Netscape sees the table terminators and assumes anchor termination...or some
such broken crap. Is it possible to toggle this ability in Lynx? Is it
already in there and I haven't seen it?
I've been downloading his pages and re-editing them into my own version by
hand...not having to mess with that anymore would be a godsend.
