Most html pages, be they generated from the server side or
not, fail to
display totally as intended unless the fromatting is totally
embedded.
That is, the formatting isn't read from css files. As much
as practical
I use css files to format pages and I've found Opera to be
not as
capable of reading css files correctly as IE, however Opera
does a
better job than Netscape.
The debate about which browser is the most compliant is
moot. From a
user's perspective its really which browser works with the
most websites
in terms of dispalying what the authors (of the pages) want
to present.
And with respect to security, they all hackable as evidenced
by the
never-ending patches for all browsers.

Subject: Security update -- Microsoft worried about Opera
web browser
I read the promo on Opera at
http://www.opera.com/press/guides/reviewer/
I bought a registered (ad free) version. It's very
impressive and very
FAST. It is also strictly compliant with international
internet protocol
standards (IE is not). Consequently, web sites coded to look
good in IE
may show up differently in Opera. It appears to be the best
designed
browser to date. Very intuitive to use.
Not surprisingly, Microsoft is resorting to unethical tricks
to
discredit Opera. For example, knowing Opera is strict XHTML
compliant,
MS intentionally had placed code on its MSN web site to trip
up Opera,
then publicly blames Opera for being a poor browser. That PR
tactic
backfired when the truth got out.
Users have claimed Opera is immune to the type of hacker
attacks seen in
IE5 and IE6. Is that true? Any Opera users want to discuss
security
concerns?
