Links2.1.9 and links2.1.14 were both able to manage the javascript
examples at www.pages.org/javascript - at least the ones that did not
require a mouse.  Do I install gpm mouse for use with svgalib or does it
provide mouse capabilities?  I looked at the man page for svgalib and
there was a way to compile without mouse capabilities.  I tried mousetest
and got a bunch of vertical colored stripes with no instructions (but that
happened with several other tests, so the video card may not be capable of
these tests) .  There are some buttons that cannot be clicked with just
the keyboard navigation.

Does anyone know how to set up the keyboard to emulate mouse movement and 
clicks?  (arrow mouse - used in Arachne)  Or in general how to remap the 
console keyboard?  Something like xmodmap but no x.  

links-0.93 could not do any of this javascript.

Links2 also did some javascript at landsend.com, but not 'check supported 
browser' - that one got me a blank page instead of 'your browser is not 
supported'.

Off topic - but do not type resizecons on one console while you are 
running an application (at least not while you are running a browser 
online) in another cnosole.  My screen went black, typing resizecons 80x25 
did not restore the original console, and I had to reboot.  I could not 
resizecons 132x25 again even after that (and after powering off and on) 
until I did vga=ask, chose 132x25 mode, and did restoretextmode -w 132x25 
again.  Something got messed up somewhere in the hardware?
