Good.
Actually there is somewhere a free JavaScript interpreter library so it just need to be "only" integerated. - JavaScript is a privacy nightmare.
I've heard.
<td><A href ="javascript:void(window.open('/art_bell_cam. html','ABCam','nostatus,nomenubar,noresize,width=515,height=435'));"><img src=" /images/btn_webcam.gif" border="0"></a> </td>
That's the image link and javascript to go to Art Bell's webcam, found in the source at www.coasttocoastam.com/index.html
You click on the link with Dillo and get nothing, because Dillo doesn't support javascript.
But if you do:
dillo www.coasttocoastam.com/art_bell_cam.html
There it is! A simple end-run around javascript that, it seems to me, could be built into Dillo without much problem.
Provide a patch.
My C gets an F. I am, however almost finished with a bash script that produces a history.html file from Dillo's standard out.
As for the other eye-candy bullshit done with javascripts, I couldn't care less.
Use <a href="..." target="_blank"> if you need only that feature of JavaScript.
Okay.
I don't want non-open-source software on my computer, and it is my understanding that java is not open-source.
- Java has *absolutely* nothing to do with JavaScript. - "Open source" is such a broad definition, that Java falls under it. "Java" and you actually probably mean Sun's implementation is for sure not "free software" (i.e. under the GPL).
