When I look for the nearest store with Firefox, the resulting URL is
'http://www.loblaws.ca/en_CA/storeresults.html?location=m6r+2k1'.
If I enter 'lynx <URL>' at CLI, it asks to allow a cookie, I say 'Y'
& it opens with these lines some way down :

  * [179]Home
  * Store Results

  Search results for:

  [180]m6r 2k1_____________ ([181]Submit) Find

  We couldn't find what you're looking for. Please try again.

If I goto [181] & 'Enter', there's no response ; the status line says

  'Submit ('x' for no cache) to
  http://www.loblaws.ca/en_CA/storeresults.html?location=m6r+2k1'

With Firefox, it's 'Find' which needs to be clicked for it to work :
'([181]Submit)' is an artifact made by Lynx,
which the Loblaws server doesn't understand.

So question to TD : can Lynx be made to send an understandable msg ?

> what edition of Lynx are you using?

Lynx 2.8.7dev.12 (31 Dec 2008)

If this is a problem with the Loblaws server,
you should tell them & remind them of the legal position in Canada.
They try to be a user-friendly store, so they'll probably fix it.
