[Lynx-dev] Re: Adding submit button to forms which don't have one ?

[aw585]

My original post was accidently abbreviated by a protocol
conventions somewhere along the way, so I'm resending,
with changes that will hopefully get it through!  
(Those %^&&^% periods in column 1.  :-)  )

You can do this with Privoxy (the follow-on to JunkBuster).

Install it, get it running, configure Lynx to use it, and install these
edits in it, before restarting it:

I use this frequently.

Some other browsers, have a function to force submission
of HTML forms whether there is a submit button in the form or not.
For w3m this is normally not mapped to a key, but it is easy to do,
or you can open up raw command prompt at the bottom of the screen.

I plan (and have been urged by friends) to blog on "abuse"s of
Privoxy as above in the future.
Just about anything you can do with the ed/ex/vi/vim/sed/Perl
"s/.../.../" to the HTML can be done with it.
