Hi,
I have a web page that works fine in Opera 7 and other modern browsers (IE6,
Mozilla 1.4, NS7.1, etc.), but not in Opera 5. I know which style properties
to set for Opera 5 to make it work, but these affect the layout in the other
browsers in a way that I don't find acceptable.
Is there a way of writing properties that apply only to Opera 5, or of writing
properties that will be hidden from Opera 5, so I can set the Opera 5 values,
then override them for other browsers in the hidden section?
e.g. IE has the <!--[if IE]> trick, and I can hide stuff from NS4 by wrapping
it in @media all{}. Is there an equivalent trick for Opera 5?
As an aside, anyone care to make a guess as to what percentage of Opera users
use each version?
Thanks,
Anthony 6 2084

I think you can assume that people smart enough to use the Opera browser
are smart enough to upgrade.

In general yes, but there are some people who see Opera 7, and even
Opera 6 as steps in the wrong direction and who stick with older
versions as a consequence.

Exact problem please? URL?
There is many ways, nothing simple for Opera 5, IIRC. http://w3development.de/css/hide_css_from_browsers/
Is there a way of writing properties that apply only to Opera 5, or of writing properties that will be hidden from Opera 5, so I can set the Opera 5 values, then override them for other browsers in the hidden section?
IIRC, using ill capitalized classes worked for some situation:
..class {} /* correct */
..CLASS {} /* Opera 5 */
Don't remember if it affected some other browser, and I newer tested it
widely. Might need IE hiding to hide Opera 5 rule from IEs. I'm not sure
if it hides from Opera6, I didn't need to hide things from it. (html>body
..CLASS {})
e.g. IE has the <!--[if IE]> trick, and I can hide stuff from NS4 by wrapping it in @media all{}.
And both by http://w3development.de/css/hide_css...rowsers/child/
Is there an equivalent trick for Opera 5?
There is no easy hiding method for O5 afaik
As an aside, anyone care to make a guess as to what percentage of Opera users use each version?
I would guess (±25%):
3.6 4 5 6 7
<1% 0% 10% 50% 40%
Opera users aren't as quick updating as mozilla users, as updating costs
money, unless you want ads. Early versions of 7 many crucial functions of
v6 were missing (some still are.).

This hides the style sheet from Opera 6 or lesser (tested
under Windows - in Linux all I know is that Opera 7 applies
the style rules):
<link rel="stylesheet " href="example.c ss" type="text/css"
media="sc#82;ee n,projection" title="Example" >
and then in the style sheet example.css:
@media screen,projecti on {
/* Your style sheet here */
}

The problem is that Opera 5 doesn't support overflow: auto; so the sections of
my page which use this don't scroll. It works fine in Opera 7.
I've managed to rejig the page to get a similar effect for the relevant parts,
but this messes up the display in other browsers.
The page is on my home machine, so there isn't a URL. If I haven't got it
fixed by tomorrow, I might upload a test page to demonstrate.

Thanks for the URL, it's a good summary of the tricks I've seen elsewhere (and
some I haven't) Is there a way of writing properties that apply only to Opera 5, or of writing properties that will be hidden from Opera 5, so I can set the Opera 5 values, then override them for other browsers in the hidden section?

There's one at http://w3development.de/css/hide_css...browsers/more/ that I
intend to test out later. As an aside, anyone care to make a guess as to what percentage of Opera users use each version?

Opera is driving me nuts, I am trying to get it to actually render a

I'm trying to move to using tableless page layouts, but I've come across
what appears to be a bug in IE5's rendering that I can't find a way to
overcome.
The page has a sidebar to the left of the main content area. The main
content are has several subsections, each of which starts with a mini-menu
of four links. I want to have these laid out across the full width of the
column.
Here's an ASCII attempt to show the desired page layout:

Guys at comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets,
I have designed a page in (x)HTML transitional that I am happy with
in (close to) standard compliant browsers (i.e. Firebird/Opera), but IE
is causing problems as can be expected since I have used
position:fixed.
I don't want to use too many hacks and I don't care that the page looks
a bit different in IE (their loss) but I want it to be usable.

I'm having a little problem with a menu for a site I'm doing.
The menu is all CSS, but in IE all the content below the menu jumps
down when the menu pops out, while it doesn't do that in other
browsers (safari, firefox, opera). The bit that drops down is a floating
div. I have been playing with the clear property, but without success.
Does anyone know why this happens and/or what to do about it?

Hello everyone,
The following website looks fine on the latest IE5, IE6 and Firefox.
However, in older versions of Internet Explorer, the menu overlaps the
text. Does anyone know why this is, or if there is some sort of a
workaround such that it looks good for all browsers?
