Opera: Accessing Hidden Content

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

I made (what I thought was) a simple demo yesterday. I had constructed this page a while ago but the design leaves a lot to be desired. So I build this demo after a mild brainstorm. IE and Firefox handle it as expected though in Fox 1.5 the content jumps a bit. Unexpectedly my Opera 9 browser refuses to display the content. Maybe it's my copy or my computer, who knows? Not me. I expected no problems from Opera but got plenty.

Any ideas, CSS Masters? There must be something. Comment or e-mail me at headsfromspace at gmail dot com.

Did you know Opera supports the CSS 3 list-style-type: box? It does, for some reason. And for some reason I made the List Body demo which as far as I know, only displays properly in Opera. Here is a screenshot I took. Practical uses of this demo? None. Value of this demo? None.

Opera: 100% Border Corners

Oh, hello. Yes, it's been a while. Very crispy outside today.

Opera can do things few other browsers can do. I use it a lot to test different aspects of CSS design. Here is a page that won't do too well in most browsers, but Opera renders it quite well:

Opera: 100% Border Corners

An alternative page for Firefox is rendered with a defined pixel-width for the borders. I think I got the idea from this page.

Micro Fiction: American Spaceboy

I've been publishing what I call a Micro Novel, in installments, over at The New Absurdist called American Spaceboy



The link is to Chapter One, and all the chapters are linked. Just follow the links at the bottom of each page to go to the next. It's that easy.

Did you know that Firefox supports the ::selection pseudo element? Well, it doesn't really, but it kinda does with it's proprietary ::-moz-selection. See Roger Johansson's blog post about CSS 3 selectors for more info.
