Opera says, "Opera has been designed to recognize and work with many plug-ins that work with Netscape."
Then in the same paragraph Opera says, "If you don't see a certain program listed here, and you would like to know if it works with Opera, please give it a try! People often figure out how to get plug-ins working with Opera by themselves. We also recommend that you visit our plug-ins newsgroup. You may find the answer to your plug-in problem there, or you can post your own solution for how to get specific plug-ins to work with Opera." Further information, Opera says, "Before you install a plug-in for use with Opera, you should set up your computer to show all files on your system, including system, hidden, and dynamic link library (.dll) files. This is because most plug-ins will install their own ".dll" files on your computer, and these are the files you will need to find in order to use the plug-in with Opera." Interesting that Opera tells its users how to hack things to make it work with Opera if Opera does not support it. Again, proof that no plug-in has been designed or developed to work with Opera. All this information is available at http://www.opera.com/support/service/plugins/. The beginning of that page states, "This page describes how to get some of the most common plug-ins to work with Opera, and why some of them won't. Since there are thousands of plug-ins and applications out there, please try to contact those who made the plug-in/application to find out if it works with Opera, and how." Interesting that you wish to continue to claim that plug-ins are designed for Opera. That's a major misrepresentation. Opera specifically states it was developed so OPERA works with plug-ins built for other browsers. No, plug-ins have been developed to work specifically with Opera.

Actually, if you read closely, what I posted is a way to combine the already existing and excellent web developers' menu by Toby Inkster, which you can get at <http://goddamn.co.uk/tobyink/?page=10> and Rijk van Geijtenbeek's blog menu. I just included the link to my blog because: (a) I'm a blog pimp, and (b) At least one of y'all is going to want to put on both the blog menu and the W3Dev menu. I know, you *say* you'll never want to, and then I get these whining emails: "You broke my blog menu!" I hate to be so disagreeable (well, that's a lie, I love it), but in fact there's quite a few neat-o tools for Opera, and with a little effort you can find links to them on Opera's website. Here's one <http://www.crispen.org/etc/search.zip> they probably won't link to. Opera gets a couple of bucks for having their search menus point to some corporate search engines. You can't begrudge them the money, but there's others I like better. Unzip this in your profile directory for Opera 7.5. -- Rev.
