Oh, I believe you. I just don't think that Opera is following the specs.
You might submit a bug report to them about this.
As to your code, adding a CFPARAM at the top of you code should resolve any
problems this issue is causing:
<CFPARAM NAME="mybutton" DEFAULT="">
<CFIF len(FORM.mybutton)>
...
</CFIF>
