Re: Opera 9 vs Firefox Review
[ QUOTE ]
Another, simpler approach is to use a "bookmarklet". This works in Opera and IE too. Here's one: javascript:maxwidth=800;pi=document.getElementsByT agName("img"); for(var%20i=0;i<=pi.length;i++){var%20aspectrat io=(pi.item(i).height/pi.item(i).width); if(pi.item(i).width>maxwidth){pi.item(i).width= 800;pi.item(i).height=aspectratio*800;}} [/ QUOTE ] Cool. But the maxwidth variable is silly if the magic number 800 is used twice later in the code. Change the code to ths javascript:maxwidth=800;pi=document.getElementsByT agName("img"); for(var%20i=0;i<=pi.length;i++){var%20aspectrat io=(pi.item(i).height/pi.item(i).width); if(pi.item(i).width>maxwidth){pi.item(i).width= maxwidth;pi.item(i).height=aspectratio*maxwidth;}} and the maximum width is set in that one place only. |

Re: Opera 9 vs Firefox Review
yeah that was sloppy, nice edit
Anyone tried gmail yet? The "basic HTML" mode looks fine, but the "standard" mode is all messed up for me. |

[/ QUOTE ] I was going to say I had no problem with it when I checked it last night, but either something changed or I was using Firefox at the time. Mine is all messed up too. Edit: Aha. Turn off that fit to width thing and try it again? |

Re: Opera 9 vs Firefox Review
If anyone else uses the Yahoo TV Guide, just found a fix to the rendering problem in the Opera forums. This sounds like something to try for most any problem with a site.
[ QUOTE ] Steps: - Goto Yahoo tv guide site page - Right click -> 'Edit site preferences...' -> Network tab - Choose 'Mask as Mozilla' under 'Browser Identification' [/ QUOTE ] Hmm, there's also an "Identify as Mozilla" option, not sure what the difference between "Mask" and "Identify" is. edit: "Identify" changes your user agent to Mozilla, but still adds Opera at the end so it can be identified as Opera. "Mask" changes it to Mozilla without the reference to Opera at the end. |

Re: Opera 9 vs Firefox Review
Wow, I just got Opera. It is so much better than IE/Firefox.
Mouse gestures are amazing (I don't have a programmable mouse like the OP). Thanks for the review! |

Re: Opera 9 vs Firefox Review
oh sorry, didn't see that. I meant that opera looks very out of place with just about any OS and that bothers me. Firefox does a pretty good job of it with the right skin. Obviously neither will be as good as their OSes default (IE, Konqueror on KDE, Epiphany on Gnome). It bugs me that even with a good skin it really stands out.
As for that vague comment, it's not hard to come by mouse gestures on both IE and Firefox. I used Mouse Gestures on Firefox for years. |

Re: Opera 9 vs Firefox Review
Anyone know if it's possible to use gestures with custom searches like with drag de go? For example, I lookup movies on IMDB all the time with a gesture. I highlight the movie name, then gesture left, and it opens in a new, background tab.
btw, if anyone anyone cares, I did get touchpad scrolling working with my thinkpad. Still using firefox though, too many little tweaks I have a hard time letting go of. |
