I would sort of want to forget Javascript. :-)
When I seriously considered this sort of project 10 years ago, I wanted it
specifically so that I had a browser that *couldn't* run Javascript or
various other "dangerous" things, such that I could use it for browsing
without worrying much about drive-by downloads and the like.
But I eventually decided that getting the page layouts right enough to be
useful would be a real bear (consider the complexity of CSS), and decided to
just write a text URL getter (which lets me see what the spammers are doing
without any significant risk of executing anything).
The NoScript plugin does about 90% of what I wanted anyway, and without
writing a browser.
Randy.
