this is the 2nd time recently that this Javascript problem has hit us;
i suggested Lynx should insert a warning, but purists gagged as usual.
the Ricoh page shows there is a serious problem about URLs,
which will probably become more common.
wouldn't it be simple to have Lynx handle Javascript
so that the user is warned & the URLs are given,
at least in the References at the end or the Listed URLs key?
this would follow the principle i suggested the other day,
that Lynx is a real fast auto, but needs better shocks for bad roads.
