Need a tester using Opera

[TnT]

For those who have Opera running could you check out:

http://rainpattern.com/testing/menutest.htm

You should be able to...
click the cyan part and drag the box around. Which should also stay in place as you scroll.
click on 01, 02, 0103 (anywhere in it's area, not just the text) and have "menus" appear and disappear

So far it seems to work correctly in Firefox and Safari, but not IE (I don't really care, but I suppose I should get it to work there as well)

Thanks,

Didn't work here, it tried to load the page but I stopped it after a couple minutes. As you mentioned, it came right up in firefox.
Opera build tested was 7.54u2.

Actually I'm confused as to why *nothing* shows up in IE or Opera. I would think unformatted text would just be plopped on the screen.

Just tested in Opera 8.01. I only get 2 empty squares on the page and nothing moves... Oh in the large square there is a text : "This is some stuff"

Almost the same here (8.01) - only large square.

Does this work without any of the javascript?

It's supposed to look like this:


Thanks again guys

Opera 8.01

Opera 7.54u2. There are two boxes. The smaller blue box stays on the page when scrolling. The smaller box is outside of the larger box only when the window size is small.

Forgot that I had the blue box's location in pixels not percentage, so its location relative to the big box will depend on browser size. That's okay.

But why nothing shows up inside the blue box is odd, because this is just css at this point, and it now works in IE.

From W3C, there are more but this should gve you a starting point.

Line 25, column 39: value of attribute "id" invalid: "0" cannot start a name

<div class="menu2" id="01" style="visibility: hidden;">

It is possible that you violated the naming convention for this attribute. For example, id and name attributes must begin with a letter, not a digit.

Line 32, column 43: value of attribute "id" invalid: "0" cannot start a name

<div class="menu3" id="0103" style="visibility: hidden;">

It is possible that you violated the naming convention for this attribute. For example, id and name attributes must begin with a letter, not a digit.

Line 38, column 39: value of attribute "id" invalid: "0" cannot start a name

<div class="menu2" id="02" style="visibility: hidden;">

It is possible that you violated the naming convention for this attribute. For example, id and name attributes must begin with a letter, not a digit.

Okay I validated both the XML and CSS. Does the menutest.htm and/or menutest-nojs.htm work in Opera now? It doesn't in IE because I think the javascript is preventing it from loading. Maybe same problem for Opera.

Thanks

Hey, I just found out my school has a site license for Opera. Guess I'll install it on a couple 'puters then.

[PAugustin]

Still doesnt work on Opera 8.01. Same thing that dbdg posted...

[TnT]

Sorry to az and all Opera supporters, but at this point it works on all browsers except Opera and I'm not going to spend any more time trying to figure it out.

Basically it seems like it won't draw the boxes inside the "fixed" blue box if I have their position set to absolute. If I take that off then it draws the boxes but not inside the blue box. Maybe it's drawing them somewhere off screen?!? Dunno and starting to not care unless someone can shed some light on the issue.

Have a post on the Opera forums, maybe they can figure out what's wrong and either tell you it's a bug in Opera or your code, and maybe help you code around it

Shouldn't take you much time, they do all the work
