Well at long last, Opera 7 has been released; and it’s bitten me in the ass already.
Opera 6 rendered this site pretty much ok, except for the lack of <fieldset> and <label>. So I downloaded Opera 7 in hopes that everything would be peachy.
Much to my dismay, it appears that Opera 7 will not load external stylsheets in <link> tags where the <href> is a relative path. Fsck.
With this in place:
<link
rel="Stylesheet"
href="/style/css/screen-default-left.css"
type="text/css"
media="screen"
/>
I get jack squat, nada, nuttin, zilch.Change it to this:
<link
rel="Stylesheet"
href="/style/css/screen-default-left.css"
type="text/css"
media="screen"
/>
and everyone is rendered happy. Fsck. Same goes for any @import url(); entries in the external CSS code. Damn it. This is frustrating.
Can any one else confirm or deny this behaviour?
Yeah, I know, my CSS files have a few typoes in them. To me, that still wouldn’t fully explain why it works/failes with a full/relative url.
