I'm writing HTML and CSS for my web site. I've gotten it to look great in IE, Firefox, and Safari. Opera however, messes up half of the items on every page, and it's driving me nuts. Do I just say screw it? Don't worry about those running Opera? Or do I put another 100 hours laboring over my keyboard.

Opera has a pretty small market share, but it's strange...because Opera is also one of the most standards-compliant browsers, so it shouldn't choke on proper CSS. If it looks good in all the rest, I'd say screw it. But I'm lazy, though.

well, that's what I was thinking. I got it working in the most popular one's so.... maybe I'll just put off an Opera compliant one til a rainy day...
I agree it's strange but there could be some minor thing causing this. But without the code it's only a guess.

That's strange, seeing as Opera usually has the best standards support. But if you designed your web for IE then some of you code may be using some proprietary IE crap that's not a part of the standard.
If you design your web for either Opera or Firefox to begin with it usually works for pretty much all browsers, except maybe IE.
But then you only have to worry about coding around IE's problems, but not the other browsers.

yea, it's a very strange situation. It works in FF and IE and Safari, but not Opera. Usually the problem with markup is that it ONLY works for IE and nothing else... or it works for everything BUT IE. Weird. Anyways. I'm still fiddling around with it, but if I continue to have trouble I will post the code.
Shouldn't this discussion take place in an HTML/CSS forum?
kind regards,
Jos

Further proof of how bad IE is. Notice it never works like the other browsers.
It's not weird at all. If your markup works in IE but not anywhere else, then the markup is written wrong and you must find the error in the markup. If it works everywhere but IE, then you are witnessing an IE bug and you have to figure out which IE bug it is.

If you want to I guess. Hasn't really become a techinical discussion yet, but it's your choice.
