Hi Nick,
I'm not familiar with the menu, but glancing at this script I do
notice a test for "document.all". I know that it's unlikely that Opera
would need help from a script. IE 6 and below likely does need this
script. So I wonder if the test for "document.all" is to filter for IE ?
I also know that Opera will return "true" for this condition. So the
script is, in fact, applied by Opera. Maybe start here - does Opera
work okay if you pull the script? If so, you could wrap the script in
a "conditional comment" for IE 6 and below. IE 7 likely does not
need it either. (But test!)
FWIW - More than a few of us went from Opera 7.54 to Opera 9, as the
version 8 added a lot more functionality, and a lot of bugs in the process.
Cordially,
David
