eben Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 i use opera 8, try it.goto unattended.msfn.org and behold... the google ad shows up in front of the dropdown menu items so i cant see the submenus.i payed for opera so would like to know wether it's a bug in opera or in the page coding. dunno jack sjit about html so couldn't check myself.cheers
prathapml Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 No idea why it happens for you. The google ads are positioned below for me...My spec:Version informationVersion 8.0 Build 7561Are you using User CSS or JS? If so, then maybe what you describe _might_ happen.
Alanoll Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 hmmm...untill we can figure it out...use: http://unattended.msfn.org/global/sitemap.htmThere's a link from the menu to it under Home.
prathapml Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I gat you a possible solution from Opera Mailing lists:>> http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1791558,00.asp>>>> Has an advertisement where the inserted image overlaps the frame.I see what you mean. It's a combination of two things: the page is in "quirks" mode. Forcing "standards" mode fixes the overlap in Opera. The second thing is that Opera always renders iframes "on top".The site can either use an appropriate DOCTYPE to get "standards" rendering, or they could remove the width/height dimensions on the span around the ad. I don't know if Opera fixing the iframe issue would help or not.
eben Posted May 5, 2005 Author Posted May 5, 2005 if you go on the opera forum, they'll certainlly help you out. even some opera employees hanging around over there.cheers
prathapml Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Doh!Their forums cant be of much help coz this is not an opera problem.The problem is with the coding of the site. As said above, the guide's pages are non-standards compliant, as in they don't have a DOCTYPE declaration.

As said above, the guide's pages are non-standards compliant, as in they don't have a DOCTYPE declaration.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>dang it! I stopped making it W3C compliant primarily becaue almost EVERY page would have to be rewritten for the minority of people using Opera browsers. But since finals are almost over....I'll look into it.Now to decide which standard to adhere to.....there's just so many. HTML 4.0 Transitional is probably the one that is closest to the current site.

eben Posted May 12, 2005 Author Posted May 12, 2005 2 threads below i reported it suggested them to ask on the opera forum, but they think it is only for opera support .guess i should tell m they'll gladly help out to find the code that causes this, just to improve interoperability. maybe they'll read this, maybe they won't... but the sitemap will be accesible
