Wonderful! The fix for FF makes Keenspot and similar sites usable without
my Proxomitron filters now :-)

Also thanks for the Q/A fix.

One question though: "- Fixed problem where white-space: -pre-wrap was too

eager causing extra line breaks"

Isn't this property -o-pre-wrap in Opera 7? I thought the names had
changed?

Another underline bug (?) can be seen here:
http://www.iriver.com/community/discussion_list.asp?pre_idx=7371&top_title=User%20Forum&list_page=1&mode=Total&strque=&field=1&p_name=&p_group=

When you hover the text (class="article"), it will be underlined and blue.
Just like the CSS says i guess.
http://www.iriver.com/include/iriver.css

But is that right? In IE and Mozilla the text dosen't change.
Is it a Opera or a Iriver-webmaster problem?

Iv'e seen this behaviour on other sites too.

Argh. Yeah, I'm fairly sure it's "-o-pre-wrap". Figures I'd
make a mistake somewhere. :)

This works fine.
But some ASCII spaces remain in quot-lines when I wrote reply.
It's small problem for me.
Anyway, this function is useful enough. Thank you.

Quite fine, but for example, www.post.de or the URL you will be

work (blank page).

It works with Internet Explorer 6 (what a surprise) and also with
Mozilla Firebird 0.61.

To be fair to the OPERA-developers:

the page you indicated is an intermediate page and not intended for direct
use!

If you go directly to
-
http://www.deutschepost.de/
-
which resolves to
-
http://www.deutschepost.de/dpag?xmlFile=828&tpl=html3
-
everything is just wonderful!! Fast and straight :-)

But anyhow, one VERY strange thing should be analysed by the developers:
when loading the intermediate page directly, and STOPping as advised,
the loaded page ends up with changed/modified(!!) SIDE-BARS,
color and skin changed by the server,
which, at least to my understanding, should NEVER happen -
it could be a possible SECURITY RISK ;-((

There appears to be a problem displaying some images. I've noticed it
consistently with the page icon at my.yahoo.com and the one at
alltheweb.com. Parts of the image that are, as far as I can tell,
supposed to be clear or transparent are instead displaying as black.

Whats wrong with http://www.post.de ?
Or do you mean the not working
http://www.deutschepost.de/dpag?xmlFile=828
address?

If I type http://www.post.de here, it resolves to
http://www.deutschepost.de/dpag?xmlFile=828&tpl=html3
too and everything works fine.

I can confirm this for gif-images, w3c valid css image is displayed with
scratches on it that change everytime it is reloaded.

Yes, but not always fully loaded! Try this a few times, and you will see
half of the page.

Nothing, it resolves fine to the correct and well working address
http://www.deutschepost.de/dpag?xmlFile=828&tpl=html3
-
But as I replied to Peter, I meant only
<URL: http://www.deutschepost.de/dpag?xmlFile=828>

Why, both URLs just resolve to the same site, that's all :-)

If you go to www.post.de you only get
http://www.deutschepost.de/dpag?xmlFile=828 as target for the
redirection, the remaining

&tpl=html3

is missing here. (Also with Beta 10.)
After adding that manually the page is really there.

Yes, but only if you are spoofing OPERA as "MSIE 6.00", ALL
other client-IDs are working correctly ;-)
whichever beta you take (9 or 10)!

They are doing some error corrections for the "buggy" IE especially.
BS specific, pardon MS specific ...

You should use OPERA as OPERA :-))
It's worth a try ...

Meanwhile, it works with the beta 11 as expected. The missing letters
appear after a while :-)
