Since the product used to create it is mine and since I am *completely* intent on making it compatible with as many browsers as possible (and have put many, many man days of effort into trying to do so) I know that you should not have made the statement you made above. You couldn't have been more wrong if you tried! You were doing so well up to that point too! <g>. BrainStorm's published models use standard W3C DOM code which Opera fails to obey. AAMOF, Opera *will* render the DOM used correctly ... as long as it's receiving it from a server. Try to view the document off-line and Opera behaves differently; no cookies, no URL passed variables. With which standard is that compliant, pray tell, to behave differently on and off-line? The code *requires* global variables, which Opera won't support in an off-line document. I understand all you say about IE's "soggy logic" encouraging sloppy work and agree completely. I understand all you say about Opera's compliance in CSS and HTML and agree completely - hey, I use it myself! Sadly, the flaws and inconsistencies leave us with no choice but to turn away support for Opera. If you want to continue this conversation with me and have some constructive suggestions about how I can make my product more effective, please contact me off list. I don't want to continue this here though. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
