Hi all, As of September 29th, 2011, Google, through its www.google.com and www.google.ca websites, now utilizes a javascript redirect in each of its search results, meaning that CCN's browser, Lynx 2.7, can no longer attain results the conventional way when using Google. Lynx 2.8 (in testing) does recognize javascript and doesn't have this problem but 2.8 has a bunch of problems of its own which is why we're still using 2.7 as our main Lynx browser. As a 'fix' for Lynx 2.7, I am suggesting this workaround when using Google: instead of trying to go through the link results on the main page of your search, select the cached version of the result you want and then select the second link of that page which is the current version of the page you want; it's an extra step but completely avoids Google's nuisance javascript redirect results. Short of using this workaround, you can still enter the url in the link result as a direct url using CCN's 'go' command. Any questions regarding this workaround can be directed to: userhelp@chebucto.ca. Tony @ CCN Help CCN Userhelp
