A question about opera.

  • I don't know if many of you test sites in opera but I just installed it and browsed some of my sites. I was browsing through some portfolio sites looking for some inspiration and noticed something I was wondering if any of you would have a solution to the problem.

    So yeah anyway I was browsing through this site http://alegodesign.net/ and noticed a gap on the current nav item that doesn't appear in chrome, ff, and ie.

    I know opera doesn't have much of a market share, if it even ever did but was just curious what would cause the problem.

    Thanks
  • That nav is messed up in Firefox too on my machine. Opera is a decent web browser.
    As to what causes the problem. The usual, poor coding.
  • One of the many reasons Opera doesn't have larger market share I think. There are all these little bugs that are super hard to fix because there is no solid way to target Opera. In this case, it doesn't look like a bug but a difference in text rendering perhaps? One those little tricks of the trade you learn is to never depend on text to be of any particular size to look right.
