Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx and amazon?

[Karen Lewellen]

..which is why I would appreciate a test.
When I visit www.amazon.com
A cookie is accepted right away.  However when  I sign in, say after 
choosing proceed to checkout two things happen.
first, again after the cookie is allowed I reach a page that says
Important message!  To better protect your account please reenter your 
password and type the characters in the image below..which  for me is not 
an option.
Still, even if Amazon staff provide something for that verification field, 
or if I leave the field blank, I get a  request to allow cookies message.
In fact I cannot go forward   until I turn on what is already turned on.
So I am wanting to discover if this error might be unique to  the lynx 
setup at shellworld, or if this is something Amazon is doing where Lynx is 
concerned in general.
