Description Justin Hibbits 2007-04-17 22:00:08 UTC

The FreeBSD website's use of javascript on the Text Size: Normal / Large fields causes keys to be ignored in the links web browser.  This makes it especially difficult to navigate since the only way to select any link below it is to use a mouse, and the only way to navigate away from the site once the cursor is on one of these links is to ESC to the menubar.

Fix: 

Disable javascript.
How-To-Repeat: Load www.freebsd.org into a links session, and move the cursor to the Normal link.

That will not be an option, the javascript is here to let graphical 
users select their preferred stylesheet and act accordingly, text only 
browsers dont handle this at all . that said, i do not have any issues 
with this myself at all (I use links every now and then). If needed 
please discuss this on the www@ webmaster mailinglist instead of filing 
an PR. Thanks.
