Hi,
what are you trying to archive? I would not recommend to use lynx for simple browsing if you are not forced to. Nowadays most websites contain graphical information, which can not be displayed on a character only browser...
I guess lynx is presenting you a blank page.
Either invoke lynx with an URL as argument or use the "go" command (press g and then enter the URL).
Try
Hope this helps,
Stefan
Linux detected my modem(finally!) and I then proceeded it to configure it with Minicom according to the instructions here. I got it configured, and can dial up to my ISP, but now I am trying to figure out how to get Lynx to use the connection. Any ideas? (3 Replies)
I've written a program using the bourne shell (I think) #!/bin/bash that goes through a database and for each line does lynx "http://www.example.com/test.cgi?var=variable" The whole point of this was to later move it into the crontab so that once a day it would run this program on a website. Now... (4 Replies)
Hi there!
I one saw a command that allowed to download a file using lynx from an HTTP server without opening lynx itself.
Looked something like this:
$ lynx -xyz http://localhost/foo.bar ~/foo.bar
I looked into lynx manpages and help but didn't find anything.
Thank you in advance (2 Replies)
Is there a particular style that works better than the default for lynx / links / other text-browsers?
Since my most commonly-used home machines have of RAM, I try to avoid XWindows / Netscape as much as possible. I have found, however, that the default isn't very easy to navigate in 24x80... (1 Reply)

check::isa
Check::ISA(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Check::ISA(3pm)NAME
Check::ISA - DWIM, correct checking of an object's class
SYNOPSIS
use Check::ISA;
if ( obj($foo, "SomeClass") ) {
$foo->some_method;
}
# instead of one of these methods:
UNIVERSAL::isa($foo, "SomeClass") # WRONG
ref $obj eq "SomeClass"; # VERY WRONG
$foo->isa("SomeClass") # May die
local $@; eval { $foo->isa("SomeClass") } # too long
DESCRIPTION
This module provides several functions to assist in testing whether a value is an object, and if so asking about its class.
FUNCTIONS
obj $thing, [ $class ]
This function tests if $thing is an object.
If $class is provided, it also tests tests whether "$thing->isa($class)".
$thing is considered an object if it's blessed, or if it's a "GLOB" with a valid "IO" slot (the "IO" slot contains a FileHandle object
which is the actual invocant). This corresponds directly to "gv_fetchmethod".
obj_does $thing, [ $class_or_role ]
Just like "obj" but uses "DOES" in UNIVERSAL instead of "isa" in UNIVERSAL.
"DOES" in UNIVERSAL is just like "isa", except it's use is encouraged to query about an interface, as opposed to the object structure.
If "DOES" is not overridden by th ebject, calling it is semantically identical to calling "isa".
This is probably reccomended over "obj" for interoperability, but can be slower on Perls before 5.10.
Note that "DOES" in UNIVERSAL
inv $thing, [ $class_or_role ]
Just like "obj_does", but also returns true for classes.
Note that this method is slower, but is supposed to return true for any value you can call methods on (class, object, filehandle, etc).
Look into autobox if you would like to be able to call methods on all values.
obj_can $thing, $method
inv_can $thing, $method
Checks if $thing is an object or class, and calls "can" on $thing if appropriate.
