Others have already replied that the problem is the use of javascript,
which lynx does not recognize. They didn't tell you how to navigate the
site. You need to hit "\" to get the source for the page and look at the
area where the javascript is executed. In the case of MAI, for example,
you will see the link to "www.citizen.org/pctrade/mai.html". Use "G" or
"g" to enter the URL of interest. This use of javascript is certainly
one of the most lynx unfriendly ways to write a html page.
