Hi David,
Thanks for the answers! One last question.
<p>
I am still having a tiny bit of issue to fully understand it, for the reason
that I view at a html page a non-abstract object, it's real solid. A header, a
left column, a content block, they are real filled with content (images and
texts). Taking off the style sheet, we see a un-styled page, look into the
source code, we see the skeleton of the page (still with content in it except
the inline object such as image).
</p>
<p class="no-display">After my previous message, I realized that using inline
image for my question wasn't a best example, because inline image requires an
action, a "link" to call the image, so strictly speaking, the image is not
exactly part of the content but a standby that gets call in if it's told so
whereas the "link action" (img src="image.jpg") is part of the content
(skeleton of the page ). In this sense I do understand fully that Opera Mini
able to exclude an inline image that is set to display none. I assume if the
link action has a wrong command (link path not correct) or the image is not
presented in the server, then desktop browser will not load the image too thus
no extra file size. </p>
<p>But how about the content ? Whether a paragraph of texts is of static HTML
or get pulled in dynamically, it's loaded into the page and is part of HTML
structure.</p>
.no-display {display:none}
Can Opera Mini not load the "no-display" paragraph?
p/s. If you have difficulty understand my English, I can write in Chinese or
Malay, and you can use Google translation :-)
