Hello, Josh.

>> I've been using w3m for some time, and still have only one real problem...
   :
>> <font size=+1>Select Client By SiteName or CircuitID</font>
>> <form><pre>
>> <b>SiteName :</b> <select type=box name=siteid>
   :
>> It ends up kicking me back to the base url. It may be something with the <form> tag, and it not having any form specified. That's crappy html, but it's standard enough to work in all the browsers I've seen.
>> Lynx actually works on it, so I kinda doubt it's too horribly special. lynx does yell about bad html, but seems to reproccess it and succeeds.

The tag <form> requires the attribute "action" according to HTML-4.0.

Please fix your HTML document and use w3m,
util w3m supports some bad HTML.

Thanks.
