Opera usage

Sent by Luc on 7 December 2004 19:07


Good evening Beto,     

It was foretold that on 7-12-2004 @ 17:44:33 GMT-0600 (which was
0:44:33 where I live) Beto (forums) would write:

<snipped a bit>

Bf> to get IE understand it. It is still like building a house of cards though -

 As a general rule of thumb, those problems often occur because of the
 differences  between the defaults browsers use. I always use a margin
 and  padding  of  0  on  the body element to start with. Also setting
 other elements to 0 is helpful, so you give them what they need later
 down the sheet. I recently experimented with a template where i used

   * {
        padding: 0;
        margin: 0;
}

instead of on the body element and that worked out nicely :-)

Bf> With that said, I must admit it has been a while since I last tried Opera,
Bf> maybe I should give it a try again (just downloaded it).

"We" Opera fans upgrade real quick and i have seen the progress from
5.x to 7.x and i think you will be surprised.

Feel free to contact me off-list if you have any questions about Opera
(before our list mom politely reminds us of getting OT ;-) )

Best regards,
 Luc
