not really.  lynx is organized much differently inside than would work
with javascript.  The best that could be done would be to bolt on some
ad hoc support to handle a few cases.

Well, DHTML and the DOM was not JavaScript s original use, but form-entry 
checking. Surely that would not be so greatly affected by the organization. But 
writing a parser-compiler-interpreter is no small undertaking, especially 
correctly working the types RegExp (much borrowing from Perl would help) and 
Number.
