Re: [Lynx-dev] The HTML hidden attribute

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi,
Wanting to be sure I understand the issue.  granted we have a much later 
edition  of lynx here.
Still, at least with my setup, the  place to check a box is indeed 
present, with  my status line  indicating it is a check box.
What would be there if things worked as you wished?
Further as a real world example, say when a person is in a low graphics 
environment, and using speech, why would you want the attribute hidden?
