:) Such pages are really programs, a bit like Visual Basic programs, not
:) really web pages. That's why a simple static translation of the script
:) won't work.

That's why what is needed is a javascript processor, which when feeded a
piece of javascript and a piece of html will be able to translate it into
something that lynx/the processor can understand. The processor should be
called when needed. This is not a one person's job. People who know the
library should teach those interested in doing this work how to get/feed
information from/to lynx's own libray, so that someone can do some work
in the javascript side with some direction. Anyone volunteering to offer
this help?
