Severus Snape

I'd like to know if there is a way to open a detached window in Opera.

Thanks.

If a detached window is one not contained in the main MDI window, then
no. If the user wants that, he can switch to SDI mode. It is not
something the page author controls (thankfully :).

This file

has everything you need to know about that issue. It even includes a
reference to Lasse's article. :)

People sometimes use bad names for targeting their frames: the top error
happens quite often.

error happens quite often.
As I mention in the bug report, I circumvented the problem my renaming
the target frame from 'main' to something else. I don't see anything
wrong with that name, and there may well be others that can't be used.
Incidentally, anyone deciding to play-around with the problem, will
discover another FF bug, in that it refuses to refresh the
frameset-defining page.
Note that <frameset> has to be outside, not inside the <head> part.
As I expected, that change made no difference to the problem.

It was more in the way of a heads-up than an inquiry. While I would
not start a thread on the subject here, I consider that this problem
should be aired as widely as possible on web design related groups;
particularly as it manifested itself on a site of my own, in such a
way as to cause me initially to suspect a scripting incompatibility.

I had no problems with Firefox 1.0.4 rv 1.7.8 build 20050511 and Mozilla
1.8b2 build 2005060206 while "main" was the target frame. main is not a
reserved name to begin with.

I don't see anything wrong with that name, and there may well be others that can't be used.
Possibly just top and parent.

You are off-topic. And there is no bug, IMO, anyways to begin with.

Note that <frameset> has to be outside, not inside the <head> part.

Why? Your page has no dependency whatsoever with javascript to begin with.
particularly as it manifested itself on a site of my own, in such a
way as to cause me initially to suspect a scripting incompatibility.

There is not aa single occurence of script happening in your webpages.

I was referring to a proper site of mine. The skeletal site to which I
linked, exists solely as a test case to demonstrate that under some
indeterminate circumstances, FF opens links full-screen instead of in
the intended frame. On another framed site, I use the statement
if(top==self) top.location='framepage.htm'; to restore the frame
structure if a client should load an individual page initially. In FF,
links clicked in the navigation frame were being opened full-screen,
whereupon the script was restoring the frameset, causing the initial
pages to-reload. My point is that in the first instance, one would not
necessarily suspect an HTML interpretation problem.
