I noticed that tables degrade better in Lynx when form labels or headings
appear on the left than above. For example:
____________________________
| From: | To: |
|------------|-------------|
| [........] | [.........] |
|____________|_____________|
Might become
From:
To:
[........]
[........]
in Lynx. Safest to do it like:
__________________________
| From: | [..........] |
|---------+--------------|
| To: | [..........] |
|_________|______________|
