It was a problem in the php. As "Opera" is position 0 in $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] the script wasn't putting OPERA the browser. I'm still not sure why. I've put in if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Opera') !== false) to get round the problem.
The reason for browser searching is to accommodate browser quirks in the CSS. Colin Mcgarry wrote: > Thanks for the replies. > The page now validates.
