[WSG] couple of bugs in Opera v9.5

2008-09-12 Thread tee
As mentioned in my Opera not playing nice with checkbox post, I have  
collected a list of bugs that I stumbled doing just one website. There  
are two more strange behavior in Opera related to floated elements  
with 'clearing' which I have not been able to duplicate. Will add them  
to my list if I stumble it again (which I believe I will :-)


http://lotusseedsdesign.com/opera-test/opera.html

Have not checked in PC version nor IE.

Re: [WSG] Opera not playing nice with checkbox

2008-09-12 Thread tee

Thanks Rachel, Rimantas and Ben,
Well given that radio buttons *are* inputs, that's what should  
happen. Granted it is annoying but it's per spec. Anyway, given that  
your beef is only with Opera, you can solve it easily with this:


input[type="radio"] { border: 0; }

You might need to make the selector a bit more specific to avoid the  
need for !important, of course; but you get the idea :)




Yes, I do practice specificity :) But not attribute selector yet, this  
thread makes me think I might as well start doing that.


The thing is, I already used the specificity to try making border:none  
for checkbox


.someclass .another-class .a-new-class-to-make-borders-go-away
{border:none}



Shouldn't this be enough to make the borders gone entirely? But Opera  
left out the border-bottom.  This must be a bug.


I have actually encountered a few other strange behaviors in Opera  
that I think might be bugs, I have been slowly documented them in one  
test page. I will post the test page in a new thread when it is  
completed.

Checkbox _is_ an input element. Just like radio – they are all INPUTs only
with different type. If you want to target some type specifically you can
use attribute selector in CSS - but that won't work for older IEs.

I'm not sure if I said it here before or not, but I really feel that we
need to have an annual, or possibly two-yearly (I can never remember if
that is semi-annual or bi-annual) version of the spec, and most
importantly, it should be labelled as such. Then, the vendors would have
to say that their browser supports HTMLv1971 (that would be IE) or
perhaps HTMLv2008 for (insert your particular favourite.) This would
make it far easier for good browsers to sell themselves to the ignorant
public.

Similarly, the W3C would be prevented from making lots of dramatic,
controversial changes in one go, thereby hopefully avoiding the debacle
we had with the introduction of XHTML without deprecating HTML.

Mike
