If I
lynx beforeitsnews.com
then I can't see the page because it needs a JavaScript compatible webbrowser.
Are there any text-based webbrowsers that supports JavaScript?:

Text based webbrowser that supports JavaScript?

Based on the comments under this article (which is old but provides some good pointers):
elinks - experimental javascript support (as of 2005 - may be better now?)
links2 - supports javascript and pipelining and image display without X
links-hacked - ssl and some javascript support

The article "Building eLinks Text-based Web Browser with (Some Sort of) JavaScript Support" describes how to get javascript configured in elinks, though it apparently still doesn't work with most pages.
