Web Page Visualization in w3m

Web Page Visualization in w3m

[Lorenzo Isella]

Dear All,
I am learning how to use w3m in Emacs to surf the web. In most of the
cases it works nicely, but for some specific web pages, certain bits
are not visualized at all.
For instance, consider:

https://ert.cern.ch/browse_www/wd_pds?p_web_site_id=1

where I cannot "see" at all the login to e-RT link.
I am also experiencing problems with pages like:

http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/337/description#description

where I get a message telling me that scripting should be enabled in my browser.

How can I overcome these difficulties?
I should say I am not a lisp expert and that I assembled my .emacs
file gathering pieces from the net.
See below the part of my .emacs file dealing with w3m:

;; w3m initialization

	

;;(setq w3m-home-page "about:")


 (custom-set-variables
      '(w3m-default-display-inline-images t)
      '(w3m-display-inline-image t)
      '(w3m-home-page "about:")
      '(w3m-key-binding (quote info))
      '(w3m-view-this-url-new-session-in-background t))

Many thanks

Lorenzo

When java script is needed or the "design" is just to bad use another
browser:

M runs the command w3m-view-url-with-external-browser, which is an
interactive compiled Lisp function in `w3m.el'.

  Indeed there is no javascript support in w3m. Hence you must
  either use another browser as suggested by David or use the
  google javascript interpreter. Sorry but at the moment I
  don't remember how to activate this google javascript
  interpreter.
