[NFBCS] Linux web browsers

[charleseblack at att.net]

Sorry for my earlier statement, it does work on google. It is just difficult
knowing where to press enter on other pages. I guess I will just be
performing some trial and error. Thanks Doug.

I tested my directions on two platforms and found success; but I also find
that it can be tricky to know when you are actually focused on the right
spot for the first Enter. I think w3m is the newest and possibly best of the
three text browsers I mentioned, but I haven't used it often enough to be a
pro at it yet.

Test case:

w3m www.google.com

Tab until the current line includes the phrase "Advanced search."

Press Enter, then check the current line; it should read "TEXT:"

Type a search expression and press Enter. It should appear before "Advanced
search" on the original line.

Tab once and press Enter to activate the Google Search link and get results.

When you Tab to an edit area, press Enter for a "Text:" prompt, type the
text, and press Enter again to populate the field with it.

I know of three: Lynx, Links, and w3m. Sometimes to disambiguate the first
two in voice conversation, I've heard the names "Lynx the cat" and "Links
the chain." Lynx, the cat, is the oldest of these but still works, though I
think its central website is long gone. I don't know the official statuses
of the other two. I'm pretty sure your friendly neighborhood apt-type
utility could get them onto that box.

Afternoon:

I am looking for a Linux web browser that can do the following:

1.	can view pages
2.	allowing editing of edit fields
3.	be used across a ssh connection.

I am currently using a CentOS box that I am SSH into. I need to download
packages from the internet into a Linux box but am unable to sign into the
site and cannot download the package.
