Hi manil,
I do not use twitter so cannot share the best e-mail address for me that way. Given the importance access to Lynx will play in Canada's digital future, I welcome staying involved.
If you cc in
address@hidden
I would be apprecitive.

Hi Larry,

I shared your instructions for triaging the issue and tagged the opening
github user in the issue thread (
https://github.com/cds-snc/digital-canada-ca/issues/98#issuecomment-380611546).
Also included is a link to the publicly viewable archive of this email
thread so people can read what we've discussed.

There has been no response since they closed the issue. I don't have the
bandwidth to triage so I offered to cc into the email anyone who wants to
take this on.

Hi Karen,

Thanks for responding.

This page (https://digital.canada.ca/) should illustrate the issue.
At the
bottom are "Featured Blog Posts". The issue happens with that section.

Manil -

Can you please view that link, https://digital.canada.ca/, with lynx's
TAGSOUP rendering option enabled? You should be able to toggle between
lynx's TagSoup and SortaSGML rendering with ^V (ctrl-V) (by default,
unless it has been remapped.)

I can interact with the links under "Featured Blog Posts" with TAGSOUP
enabled, I can not interact with them with it disabled. Lynx has two
different rendering methods that it can use; TAGSOUP is one of them,
and using it would appear to solve the issue that you are experiencing
(although I am not entirely sure because you haven't actually said what
the issue *is*, and I'm not having much luck wading through that github
issue page).

To recap: I understand your issue to be an inability to interact with
certain links, examples of which can be found under "Featured Blog
Posts" on the page at https://digital.canada.ca/. I have found that I
can interact with those links while using lynx with TAGSOUP enabled,
and wonder if that might work for you also.

Hi,
Perhaps I missed it, but can you post here a link illustrating the
problem?
For the record, elinks, if compiled as such  supports Javascript
making it
not   a text based browser so to speak.
Anyway, share the  link to the example here if you do not mind?

Hi there!

I'm emailing to see if the issue detailed here (
https://github.com/cds-snc/digital-canada-ca/issues/98) is caused
by a
known issue in Lynx' rendering. And if there is a recommended fix.

This comment (


https://github.com/cds-snc/digital-canada-ca/issues/98#issuecomment-377701917
)
contains details about where and how the issue is happening. We'd
appreciate some insight on the "why", if possible!

Thank you for your time!

Manil
