Re: [TCLUG:19192] [OT] snazzy HTML forms

Yeah... lynx doesn't do javascript urls, I guess having javascript is a
really bad assumption.
The other problem is that you don't know the contents of a form element
before the user fills it in so you can't contruct the proper query
string ahead of time. You have to use javascript at some point. Unless
you don't actually have any form elements and then you don't need a form
in the first place.
Works in Netscape & Mozilla, should work in Opera with EcmaScript 1.1
(but I didn't try it cuz it kept crashing on start up).
