Great series — I have learned a lot already!

Anyway, I have to say I disagree with you about disabling iFrames and plugins (that leaves a lot of things to agree :))

For beginners, they may encounter problems because of that (sites don’t work, important info doesn’t show, …), and probably they won’t realize the problem resides there.

For advanced users, I think userJS and userCSS can deal with those issues more efficiently and intelligently.

So that you won’t get the wrong impression: your site is great. Keep up the good work.

I notice your bias toward disabling inline frames (I totally agree they can be used for good or evil) but I couldn’t help but notice your own site here uses them (Day 20 for one) :)

I’m just playing devil’s advocate here - but its important to realize that iframes have very real, valuable uses and to immediately discredit them as a sheer means of advertisement push isn’t totally fair - just as frames (as mentioned) can be used incorrectly.

I’d also like to add that if you’re going to use inline frames inside of other content, it really should have a border or visual indicator around it to make it easier on the eyes :)

I plan to savour the entire series of tutorials you have created for this powerful and indespensible browser that is Opera 8+.

In this case what you need to do is be sure to turn ON “reuse existing windows” (see Day 4: Advanced Preferences, part 1)

That setting is one of the first things I turn OFF (I prefer to not reuse existing windows.

Unfortunately Opera is not yet smart enough to tell the difference between a regular link and a JavaScript link on the Personal Bar. I have registered this as a bug and hope that it will be fixed before Opera9!

I installed all these three buttons on my personal bar. Normally, it should work in this way: (del.icio.us for instance)

at any page that I want to bookmark in my del.icio.us, I just need to click the button “post to del.icio.us”, and a popup window appeared with useful infos. but now only a blank window pop ups. ( But those buttons work when I drag the button to the website. )

I ‘ve enable all java script options except the one “open console for errror”.

please help

many many many many THANKS!

Thanks for the great tutorial. Just a nit-picky FYI: doing an inline search on this page for the text “downlod” will quickly let you find that typo. :-D {{fixed, see above}}

Also, I don’t see the “Default Browser” section in the “Programs” tab between “Protocols” and “Source Viewer” like you describe (I am using Version 8.0 Final, Build 1095 for Linux). Am I missing something?

{{Ah, that appears to be Windows only. I will update the description to reflect that. Thanks — TjL}}

Kind regards,

Rafa

Personally I don’t like the toolbar that appears with the eyeglass icon, I just use the drop-down that appears on the address bar for “show images”

Fan of the previous serious {{series?}} now devouring this one. {{thanks!}}
