Confirmed: 3.3.18 Not Opera Compatible

[fredrikbjarman@yahoo.se]

I also have had this problem, the menu loads and then dissapears in opera 6 under windows. I solved the problem by loading the menu last in the page. The page I work on consists of several include files and i use PHP to print the client code in a file that is included at the very bottom of the file, this did the trick for Opera. Note that this made the menu crash in Netscape 4.79 so I had to print the client code on different places in the page to satisfy different browsers - execution order or something...?

The menu on Opera loads sometimes but at other times simply does not loads.

Don't know the reason why it is like that.

I'm relatively new at this, I can't confirm anything for opera 6.0, but I do have some observations on opera 6.01 (pc).

Basically the menus do appear in 6.01, but only under certain circumstances....

The website has to be completely static, and the code has out of frames.

Any java/dhtml scroller, live clock, etc. will (at least the ones i've tested) cause the menus not to show up. Sometimes i see a flashing over to the left of the screen when I have a dynamic element in there, which makes me think the menu left aligns itself in the browser window rather than not show up. This is just what I've observed through trial

Who the hell uses Opera anyway?

And I think things will improve for Opera over time.

Just to let you all know that that the menu has always supported Opera.

However, it is very fussy about certain things. If code is placed in the Head of your document your will see the menu pop-up and then disappear almost as quick. This has something to do with the way Opera deletes code not placed inside the Body of the document.

No other browser has this quirk and I've spent many many hours trying to get around it without success.

If you want your menu to work in Opera you must put the references to the .js files inside your body tags or else Opera deletes it.

I will continue to try and find a fix for this but for now this is the only way.

Cheers

I have confirmed that version 3.3.18 (currently in use on our site) is not compatible with Opera 5 on Mac. Another user confirms it is not compatible with Opera 6 on PC. In both cases the menu simply does not load, ever. We will correct this as soon as Andy returns from Vacation.
