For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12~pre5-2+squeeze1. Since the initial Squeeze release Xulrunner needed to be updated and the version currently in the archive is incompatible with Elinks. As such, Javascript support needed to be disabled (only a small subset of typical functionality was supported anyway). It will likely be re-enabled in a later point update For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12~pre5-9. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.12~pre5-9. We recommend that you upgrade your elinks packages.
