That's because HN uses an image tag to do the nesting and apparently elinks ignores the width property on image tags.

I'm quite disappointed that this is the case. I don't expect a crazy parallax motion-sickness inducing css3 but I do expect decent markup.

I was disappointed when you said they used images.

I was more disappointed when I looked at the source and realised it's nested tables.

For shame, HN. For shame.

If it bothers you submit a pull request that fixes it.

To where?

As far as I know, the current version of HN isn't open source.

Indeed it definitely isn't.

To elinks.

Wondering how involved it would be to add a script to do that in elinks.

Awesome, thanks.
