QUESTIONS re java-only (and) javascript pages:
1: Staying within text-only mode, is there any way
for lynx to at least SAY what the problem is,
ie that this is java-only page, or that it has
java-script on it.
2: If java, how does one download to one's own computer
the java program so as to run it on one's own appletviewer
(this question assumes using a "shell account" and thus
text-only possibility for display while connected to ISP.)?
3: Any other ideas?
4: Is there any way a java-app CAN be "text only", or provide
the text-only alternative that one can have in HTML?
(For us to ask sites to use).
