Anyone else seeing a problem when visiting

http://www.unix.org/40years/winaplate.html

Towards the bottom, you will see a 'reset' button - but not the 'submit'
button that appears when visiting the same page in Firefox (3.0.15)

Version information
Version 10.20 Alpha 1

Build 4744

Platform Linux

System i686, 2.6.29.6-desktop-1mnb

Qt library 4.5.3

Java Java Runtime Environment installed

Browser identification
Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.20

Don't know if previous versions of 10.x will display the missing button or
not.

The code that is responsible:

<input type="submit" value="Submit Entry"><input type="reset">

In other words, Opera puts the reset button inside the submit button, just
like the site asks it to do.

The proper code would look like this:

<input type="submit" value="Submit Entry"></input><input
type="reset"></input>

Right click on a text area of the page, and select source.
Change line 142 from ...
</fieldset
to ...
</fieldset>

Then go back to the page display, select Tools, advanced,
reload from cache.

INPUT is an empty element. In HTML, empty elements *must not*
have a closing tag. The original is fine, you got it wrong.
See David W. Hodgins article for the real solution.

Perhaps you were thinking of some other, similar markup
language. :-)

Probably thinking of the <button>Click Me!</button> tag.
