Entering a keyboard -or keypad number is treated as an <em>F_LINK_NUM</em> command, and should -invoke the <em>Follow link (or goto link or page) number:</em> statusline -prompt for a -potentially multiple digit number corresponding to an indicated link -number. If RETURN is pressed to terminate the number entry (e.g., -<em>123</em>) and it corresponds to a hypertext link, Lynx will retrieve -the document for that link as if you had paged or used other navigation -commands to make it the current link and then ACTIVATE-ed it. The prompt -can be invoked via '<em>0</em>', but it will not be treated as the lead -digit for the number entry, whereas '<em>1</em>' through '<em>9</em>' both -invoke the prompt and are treated as the first digit. -In <em>Form fields are numbered</em> -or <em>Links and form fields are numbered</em> mode, -if the number corresponds to a form -field you will be positioned on that field, but if it is a submit button -it will not be ACTIVATE-ed. - -<p>If the number entered at the prompt has a '<em>g</em>' suffix (e.g., -<em>123g</em>), then Lynx will make the link corresponding to that number -the current link, paging as appropriate if the link does not appear in -the currently displayed page. The '<em>g</em>' suffix is inferred (need -not be entered) for form fields in -<em>Form fields are numbered</em> or -<em>Links and form fields are numbered</em> mode. - -<p>Alternatively, if the number is given a '<em>p</em>' suffix (e.g., -<em>123p</em>), Lynx will make the page corresponding to that number -the currently displayed page, and the first link on that page, if any, -the current link. The '<em>g</em>' and '<em>p</em>' suffixes thus -convert the -<em>Follow link (or goto link or page) number:</em> feature to an advanced -navigation aid. - -<p>Finally, a user may add a <em>+</em> or <em>-</em> suffix to a number -command to indicate jumping forward or back relative to the current link or -page. -For example, typing <em>1g+</em> followed by RETURN will move the current -link to the next numbered link, skipping any intervening pages -or unnumbered links; <em>1g-</em> goes to the preceding numbered link. -On a page without links, <em>3g+</em> goes to the 3rd link <em>following</em> -the page. <em>5p+</em> skips ahead 5 pages, and so on. -You can also enter <em>5+</em> or <em>5-</em>, which will activate -the 5th link ahead/behind where you are currently positioned. -Note that typing <em>1g+</em> is different from typing a down arrow -in that <em>1g+</em> skips pages containing no links, or -intervening non-numbered links, such as form fields when -form fields are not numbered. It also differs from -the <em><tab></em> command in that <em>1g+</em> -does not skip over whole textareas, unless form fields -are not numbered. - -<p> -<em>NOTE:</em> <em>1+g 1-g 1+p 1-p</em> are all recognized as equivalent -to <em>1g+ 1g- 1p+ 1p-</em> . Any other (mistyped) characters end -the formula: e.g. <em>1gh+</em> is treated as <em>1g</em>. - -<p>If the user has set <em>Keypad mode</em> to <em>Numbers act as arrows</em>, -then only '<em>0</em>', rather than every number, will be treated as an -<em>F_LINK_NUM</em> command for invoking the <em>Follow link (or goto link or page) -number:</em> prompt. The '<em>0</em>' will not be treated as the first -digit for the number, or number plus suffix, entry. - -<p>Numbers are associated with form fields only when -<em>Form fields are numbered</em> or -<em>Links and form fields are numbered</em> mode has been selected. -If you have selected -<em>Numbers act as arrows</em> or <em>Links are numbered</em> mode, you -can seek form fields in the document via WHEREIS searches for strings in -their displayed values. If they are INPUT or TEXTAREA fields with no -values as yet, you can use two or more underscores as the search string, -because underscores are used as placeholders for form fields in the -displayed document. - -<p ID="select-option">When you have invoked a popup window for a list of -OPTIONs in a form's SELECT block, each OPTION is associated with a number, -and that number will be displayed in -<em>Form fields are numbered</em> or -<em>Links and form fields are numbered</em> mode. -In any keypad mode, the <em>F_LINK_NUM</em> -('<em>0</em>') command will invoke a <em>Select option (or page) -number:</em> prompt, and you can enter a number, and optionally a -'<em>g</em>' or '<em>p</em>' suffix, to select or seek an OPTION in that -list. If only a number is entered at the prompt, the corresponding OPTION -will be selected and the popup will be retracted. If the '<em>g</em>' -suffix is included, then you will be positioned on the corresponding OPTION -in the list, paging through the list if necessary, but it will not be -treated as selected unless you enter the ACTIVATE (RETURN or right-arrow) -command when positioned on the OPTION. For purposes of paging (e.g., in -conjunction with the '<em>p</em>' suffix), a <em>page</em> is defined as -the number of OPTIONs displayed within the vertical dimension of the popup -window. -Finally, the <em>+</em> and <em>-</em> suffixes can be used -to move forward or back from the current option or page in -a popup menu, -similarly to the way they are used for links For example, -while viewing a popup window, the user can type -<em>3p+</em> and RETURN -to skip ahead 3 pages, and <em>50g-</em> will move the -current selection back 50 options. -This will work whether or not <em>keypad mode</em> is -<em>Form fields are numbered</em> or -<em>Links and form fields are numbered</em> since options -are numbered internally. If form field numbering is -turned off, the option numbers won't appear on screen, -but the user can still navigate using these commands. - -<p>Note that HTML can be structured so that it includes <em>hidden -links</em>, i.e., without a visible link name intended for ACTIVATE-ing -the link. Such links may be created, for example, by making an IMG element -the sole content of an Anchor element, and including an ALT="" attribute -name/value pair to suppress access to the link when the browser does not -have support for image handling available. They also can be created by -having truly empty Anchor content, in cases for which the value of an -Anchor's HREF attribute is intended as a navigation aid for robots -(typically indexers) and not as content for a browser's rendition of the -document. With the <em>-ismap</em> command line switch, Lynx will -additionally treat a link to a server-side image maps as hidden if -there also is a client-side map for the same image. -Finally, in some cases links that are not intended to be hidden -may effectively become <em>hidden links</em> because of bad HTML. -The <em>hidden links</em> differ from Anchors that have only a -NAME or ID attribute name/value pair (intended as positioning targets from -other links which do have HREF attributes and values that include a -fragment). - -<p>Lynx respects instructions for <em>hidden links</em> and normally does -not include them in the rendition of the document. However, if the command -line switch <em>-hiddenlinks=merge</em> is used, such links will still be -numbered in sequence with other links which are not hidden, and if <em>Links -are numbered</em> mode is also on, link numbers will appear for them in the -displayed text (except for links to image maps which are hidden because of -<em>-ismap</em>). If <em>-hiddenlinks=listonly</em> or -<em>-hiddenlinks=ignore</em> is in effect, <em>hidden links</em> will not be -shown in the text even in <em>links are numbered</em> mode. Not using a -<em>-hiddenlinks</em> flag at all is equivalent to -<em>-hiddenlinks=listonly</em>. - -<p>If a document includes -<em>hidden links</em>, they will be reported, with appropriate labeling, -in the menus created for the LIST ('<em>l</em>') or ADDRLIST ('<em>A</em>') -commands, unless <em>-hiddenlinks=ignore</em> is used. They can then be -ACTIVATE-ed via those menus. Also, if a link was hidden because of an ALT -attribute in an IMG element, it will be converted to a <em>visible link</em> -whenever the IMAGE_TOGGLE ('<em>*</em>') command is used to create links -for SRC attribute values of IMG elements, because this indicates that the -user does have some form of image handling enabled via a helper application, -or wishes to download files for subsequent use with a graphic browser or -other suitable software. - -<p>HTML forms also may have fields with a HIDDEN attribute, indicating that -a name/value pair for the fields should be included in the content submitted -for the form, but the value should not be displayed in the rendered form. -Lynx respects this attribute as well, and neither displays the HIDDEN field, -nor assigns it a number for the F_LINK_NUM ('<em>0</em>') command and -<em>Form fields are numbered</em> or -<em>Links and form fields are numbered</em> keypad mode handling, nor -includes an entry for it in the menus created for the LIST ('<em>l</em>') -or ADDRLIST ('<em>A</em>') -commands. However, the HIDDEN name/value pairs are included in any displays -of submitted form content in the <em>Information about the current -document</em> that is invoked by the INFO ('<em>=</em>') command. -</BODY> -</HTML> |
