Indeed, I believed that i disabled JS but that was in firefox only.
In galeon 2.0 there's only a b/w choice, no site specific exceptions, 
and i forgot i turned it on again to enable bookmarklets.

Now i disabled JS for this domain in galeon also, but tracking was difficult 
because the 'RAM caching' always confuses things. The issue is further complicated 
because there seems to be some recursion. A mainframe with JS does POST requests 
for pages which contain a frame array which then (without JS involved) load the mainframe 
again. I'm not sure how it is expected to work, and maybe i made the wrong entry into that 
circle. I did a lot of tracking, and after all it turned out to be most probably a bug in galeon:
Because anything just works with firefox now. They are both mozilla based, but there were 
some updates since i started the story, and i think firefox may have fixed this bug while galeon 
didn't. This is especially likely since galeon isn't developed any further, it's in the process to be 
shut down, with some of the developers moving to epiphany.

(Firefox killed it, and it's not surprising given the small crew of galeon, and the huge
devel community of firefox, plus the money insertions by well known corporates.
I think it will become very hard even for Opera and Konqueror too. 
Do i recall right and OS X already switched to firefox, as base for safari ?) 

| Do the elinks and dillo browsers support Javascript?
No.

The problem is that more and more sites depend on javascript today.
I saw huge sites which switched nearly completely to to JS linking, ditching 
HTML href altogether. 
Another thing emerging rapidly is flashplayer pages, and, of course, 
java applets, and more embedded stuff. Actually it's shifting to 'ex-bedding'.
I think this is a natural development and can't be stopped in any way.
The tendency is interactivity and motion, and i also believe that the 
internet of the future will be more like an interactive  3D movie, or simply,
virtual reality, the cyberspace. That's where we're going.
And fast.
