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.");
