Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx and forms

[Stef Caunter]

The APC interface uses an onClick javascript event to submit changes to control 
the power outlets - most annoying if you would like to stay in a shell, but 
there isn't anything to do except ask them to put in a real html form submit 
button.

I am sure many of their (inadvertent) end users are unix admins in ISP 
colos who find they can't control the unit unless they go to a javascript 
browser.

Completely unnecessary, as the interface is dead simple otherwise; it toggles 
the device state with option values. Allowing a real form submit would enable 
scriptable control for admins.
