I don't see javascript support in my links2, and according to the
changelog, it was removed in v. 2.1pre29:

I was recently looking for a TUI browser that supported JS, and was
unable to find a single one, at least one that was available as a
binary deb.
[The purpose was to access via the Internet a router /
AP / firewall that was configured to only allow access to its web based
management interface through its internal interfaces. The router was
configured to forward incoming SSH connections to a (headless) Debian
box on the local network ('edith'), so I thought I'd just remotely
install a TUI browser onto edith, and then use it to access the
router. As I said, after much fruitless searching, I was unable to
find a single TUI browser that supported JS. I eventually found a
different solution (TIMTOWTDI); run a proxy (SOCKS or HTTP) on edith,
tunnel a port across the ssh connection ('ssh -L
8118:my_dynamic_dns_name:8118'), and configure my regular GUI browser
(IW) to use a proxy at the tunneled port. I suppose I could have used
ssh itself as the proxy with the '-D' option, but I'm used to using
'-L'.]
