Everyone’s favorite column is back this week and today they talk about surfing the web…with Lynx…ummm…no fun. In any case, if you are bored and left without a GUI well then Lynx might be your only option. Sort of like being stuck in a storm shelter and having nothing to eat but saltine crackers. In times of emergency, you just have to use the tools available.

lynx is a valuable tool for testing, because it lets you see your webpage the way search engines see it, and the way screen readers see it.
Wouldn’t want to use it as my primary browser, but it does have its benefits.
Couldn’t you just look at the source code ;-P
Not really… try it sometime. If it’s a CSS site, you can get a little bit by viewing in browser with CSS turned off and images turned off, but something like lynx is the best way to get what a screen reader would give you, all in a glance.

I know man, just pulling your chain. But what is this CSS you speak of?
some stupid BS or other that a bunch of unwashed zealots rant about while no one listens.
::grin::
Yeah I figured as much. Might be able to use it on this site somehow.
And by the way, FG looks damn good in Lynx ;-)
Nah… only bearded hippies who don’t bathe properly and consort with communist devils use it. Or was that linux?
